Liga MX side Necaxa continued on Sunday after a 2-0 road win over Monterrey.
American centerback Ventura Alvarado helped post the clean sheet, while putting in a strong shift in the backline. Alvarado finished with an 85% passing completion rate, while also winning eight of his 11 individual duels. The veteran also made one successful tackle, won one foul, and made seven clearances in his team’s fourth league win in the past five matches.
