Clásico Regio had an atypical scenario. The League Cup witnessed one of the hottest matches in Mexican football. Rayados de Monterrey won the final thanks to Sergio Canales’ goal in a 90+7 score. Despite the painful elimination of Tigres from UANL, Nahuel Guzmán had a good gesture with the kid who invaded the pitch of the Shell Energy stadium. and was harassed by security personnel.
The child jumped onto the field after the end of the match. Little fan was straight into the meeting of Nahuel Guzmán, while the stadium security follows him. Despite the bitterness of the exclusion, Nahuel Guzman empathized with the young fan and carried him in his arms. “Paton” prevented the eviction of the child.
This gesture becomes much more important when the context is taken into account. It’s not just the departure of Tigres de la Huanle from the League Cup. in the 1/8 finals of the championship, Nahuel Guzman kept a clean sheet until a final-minute penalty goal sealed the fate of the cat team. Bitterness and sadness were on the surface, but the South American put aside his disappointment.
Nahuel Guzman, from laughter to applause
It’s worth remembering that the veteran goalkeeper Tigres de la UANL came from monopolizing social media before committing to a child. Nahuel Guzmán was criticized on social media for his curious way of distracting Vancouver footballers in the previous penalty shootout. The Argentinian made a mime and removed the streamers from his mouth. This attitude has been questioned and branded as unnecessary.
Mockery of Rogelio Funes Mori
After the Regio Clasico held at the Shell Energy Stadium, Rogelio Funes Mori was the protagonist of a controversial video in which he mocks the UANL Tigres goalkeeper. After the elimination of the cat team, Funes Mori celebrated in the locker room and did some mimic gestures with a mouth sealed with adhesive tape. These gestures are a clear reference to Nahuel Guzmán and his colorful behavior on the field.
Rayados de Monterrey will now be in contention for a place in the top four in the League Cup against Los Angeles FC Carlos Vela. This match will take place Friday, August 11th and will be held at the Rose Bowl.
