MEXICO CITY (Interstat) — Cruz Azul defeated Monterrey 2-0 on Saturday in a Liga MX match at Estadio Olímpico de Universitario. Defender Jesús Orozco opened the scoring in the 44th minute and forward Ángel Sepúlveda sealed the victory in the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time. Monterrey played a man down after Óliver Torres received a red card in the 24th minute. The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat, which had simulated a 1-1 draw despite giving Cruz Azul a 76 percent probability to win. Both teams opened their league seasons with the result.
