After an unprecedented first half, the complementary time started hot. An error by Diego Lainez gave Rayados the advantage, after being swept from behind, earning his second yellow card and granting a penalty to the visitors.

The direct confrontation between Nahuel Guzmán and Sergio Ramos from the penalty spot was one of the great images of the night. "El Patón", faithful to his style, turned his back to distract the Spanish, shouting: "I'm going to chip it", but his method had no effect and the ex-Real Madrid player scored the first goal of the night.

The expulsion of Germán Berterame started the debacle of Rayados, after seeing the red card for complaining to the "Gato" Ortiz. Oliver Torres followed the same path after an entry that, for some, was considered "rigorist" by the referee, and Monterrey was left with nine players on the field.

But the cards didn't stop there, Guido Pizarro and one of Demichelis' assistants also saw red, and on the way to the locker room, the Tigres strategist gave the Rayados assistant a slap and Gignac had to intervene to separate them.

American money pours into Europe's soccer giants as club valuations soar
European soccer is a bigger business than ever, with clubs in the continent's five top leagues raking in 20.4 billion euros ($23.7 billion) in revenue in the 2023-2024 season — and American investors have been eyeing a piece of that pie. U.S. investors now own, fully or in part, the majority of soccer teams in England's Premier League. That now includes four of the traditional Big Six clubs, with Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal all attracting U.S. investment. Rapid growth in revenues has been the key attraction. In the 1996-97 season, when the Premier League was established in England, revenues across the five biggest European leagues totaled 2.5 billion euros, according to Deloitte analysis. In 2023-24, that figure ballooned by 750%. That growth has led to sharp increases in valuations for Europe's biggest soccer teams. The Glazer family, which also owns the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, bought Manchester United for £790 million ($1.07 billion) in 2005. In 2024, a minority stake sale to billionaire Jim Ratcliffe pegged the club at around £5 billion, or the biggest valuation in world soccer. Kieran Maguire, associate professor in football finance at the University of Liverpool, told CNBC on Wednesday that the rising levels of U.S. ownership in European soccer have been driven by higher wealth aggregation Stateside. "It's actually a bit of a no brainer … what else you can do with your cash? You can only have so many helicopters, you can only have so many super yachts." According to Maguire, the small number of top professional sports teams available to purchase has also contributed to rising demand, with investors unable to meet the multi-billion dollar price tags attached to NFL or NBA teams in the U.S. looking to European soccer as an alternative. More than 36 of clubs in Europe's five biggest leagues now have private equity, venture capital or private debt participation through majority or minority stakes, including a majority of clubs in the Premier League, according to PitchBook research. The data shows a sharp increase in M&A deal activity in European soccer clubs, from just 66.7 million euros in 2018 to almost 2.2 billion euros in 2024. Many private equity investors in soccer have looked to the multi-club ownership model to boost their investments. Speaking to CNBC, PitchBook Senior EMEA Private Capital Analyst Nicolas Moura said many U.S. investors want to "build a variety of different football clubs," and that the model can have marketing and financial benefits. But the increasing prevalence of multi-club ownership has risked the ire of regulators, with Moura saying that European soccer body UEFA is "starting to crack down on clubs." This summer, England's Crystal Palace was barred from participating in UEFA's Europa League competition due to a breach of multi-club ownership rules. American businessman John Textor owns a stake in the English club as well as in France's Lyon, which also qualified for the competition. Moura says the decision — which Crystal Palace labelled as an "injustice" — could become more of an issue as more clubs involved in multi-club structures move into Europe's top divisions. The growth of soccer revenues has slowed in recent years, with Deloitte saying it sees income "plateauing" in the 2025-26 season on the back of slowing growth in the value of sports media rights. That has left commercial revenue — up 6% in the 2023-24 season, per Deloitte — as a main driver, as clubs clinched new sponsorship deals and looked to utilize stadiums for non-soccer events. Moura says lots of U.S. private equity investors are "looking to do their stands, their entire stadiums" in a bid to diversify away from broadcast income. The search for growth in commercial and match day revenues could see more clubs holding regular matches overseas. Spain's La Liga will take its first regular season game abroad this season, as current champions Barcelona prepare to play Villareal in Miami. Italy's Serie A is also considering an international game, with the country's governing body approving plans for a match in Australia. Until now, games in domestic leagues have not been allowed to be played outside of their home country, with global governing body FIFA considering a formal change to its rules on overseas matches. Maguire says Premier League clubs will eventually look to hold games overseas to compete with rival European leagues, and that the money generated will mean games "will be sold to the fan base … effectively as a fait accompli." The Premier League has not publicly entertained the idea of taking regular season games out of England, with CEO Richard Masters telling CNBC the league is "very different" from American peers when it comes to international games.

Ryder Cup Tracker: Bryson DeChambeau, Robert MacIntyre among new qualifiers
We're less than two months away from the Ryder Cup, and the rosters are starting to take shape. Six players each from the United States and Europe will automatically qualify their way onto the team, with another six selected by each captain. The final automatic American spots were solidified after last week's BMW Championship, while the final European spot will be determined after this week's British Masters. Here's what we know: [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Locked in United States: As expected, DeChambeau, English and Henley all earned their way onto the U.S. squad without having to worry about a captain's pick. DeChambeau wasn't able to earn points given that he's on the LIV tour, and won't be able to join the rest of the team for a tune-up in September, but he's good to go as an automatic pick. English finished at T12 in the BMW Championship this past weekend, and Henley finished a stroke behind him to come in at T15, so both continue to turn in solid performances. Europe: It wasn't a great weekend for MacIntyre inside the ropes; Scheffler ran him down for the win at the BMW, and American fans heckled him into frustration. But he did qualify for the European team — not a shock, but still nice to hear — as did Hatton, who finished out his string on the season's LIV tour. In position to qualify automatically United States: The United States has closed out its automatic qualification, which means everyone now is fighting for the attention of captain Keegan Bradley. Europe: Straka and Lowry will both make the team, so there's not a whole lot of drama here. Both are in the field for this week's Tour Championship, so that might determine who gets the automatic bid and who gets the pack-your-bags phone call. Both are having strong seasons and will be reliable performers on foreign soil. In contention for captain's picks Each captain — Bradley for the U.S., Luke Donald for Europe — will have six picks, and here's where it gets interesting. Do you select a player who's performed well in lower-stress events, or a player with a spottier résumé but performs big under pressure? Do you go with a talented rookie or a Ryder Cup veteran? Do you go with … yourself? (More on that in a minute.) Here are some of the notable faces who can count on a captain's pick: United States: Morikawa and Thomas have solidified their status on the team. Meanwhile, Griffin, despite a bizarre creatine-overdose hiccup early on Sunday at the BMW, remains in position for a bid of his own. The more interesting questions lurk just outside the top 12, where a trio of reliable performers — Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay and Sam Burns — all lurk. Which of those will play their way into the top 12, or into captain Bradley's good graces? Europe: Europe has an enviable deep bench, with Åberg, Højgaard and Hovland ready to test the mettle of the American squad and the keyboards of the American media. The key for European captain Luke Donald is figuring out how to incorporate players like, say, 14th-ranked Marco Penge of England, who plays well on the European Tour — two wins already this year — but has little to no experience in golf on American soil. Standings Unites States 1. Scottie Scheffler2. J.J. Spaun3. Xander Schauffele4. Russell Henley5. Harris English6. Bryson DeChambeau7. Justin Thomas8. Collin Morikawa9. Ben Griffin10. Maverick McNealy11. Keegan Bradley12. Brian Harman Europe 1. Rory McIlroy2. Robert MacIntyre3. Tommy Fleetwood4. Justin Rose5. Tyrrell Hatton6. Shane Lowry7. Sepp Straka8. Rasmus Højgaard9. Ludvig Åberg10. Viktor Hovland11. Matt Wallace12. Matt Fitzpatrick The big question: Will Keegan Bradley pick himself? Bradley is already one of the most fascinating figures in Ryder Cup history — shunned by then-captain Zach Johnson in 2023 despite dedicating himself to the pursuit of a Ryder Cup spot, he was suddenly elevated into the role of captain for 2025. The Ryder Cup captain is generally a player with his best on-course days behind him, but Bradley has kept his run going, playing himself all the way up to 11th in the U.S. standings. If he were 'just' a player, he'd be a no-brainer for the team. But now, he has a choice to make: Will he pick himself as a player, and be a playing captain? Will he leave the spot for someone else? Will he select himself and abdicate the captain role? Each option would be second-guessed no matter what happens at Bethpage in September. It's just one of many fascinating elements of this year's Ryder Cup … and we're still weeks away. Bradley finished T17 this past weekend at the BMW, which is right in line with this entire season ... a strong performance, but not strong enough to justify an automatic slam-dunk pick of himself, given all that comes with it. Combine that with the fact that Rory McIlroy revealed this week that he declined a chance to be a playing captain, and, well ... the picture is becoming no more clear. Bradley will tee it up this week at the Tour Championship, where he no doubt will hear fairways full of "U-S-A!" chants ... but will his performance in Atlanta be enough to push him one direction or the other? Chances are: Nope, he's going to have to make this decision all on his own.
