Brandon Vazquez nets first Liga MX brace in Monterrey win


Brandon Vazquez’s strong start at Liga MX side Monterrey continued Saturday with a Man of the Match performance.

Vazquez scored twice in Monterrey’s 3-1 home victory over Atletico San Luis, giving the American acquisition three goals in his first three appearances for the club.

The U.S. men’s national team forward needed only 15 minutes to break the deadlock, sending a looping header into the back of the net. Sebastian Vegas’ cross was sent into the San Luis box and Vazquez got on the end of it for a 1-0 Monterrey lead.

After Atletico San Luis tied the match, Vazquez recaptured the lead for Monterrey six minutes before halftime. The 26-year-old’s low shot in the 39th minute capped off a quick counterattack from Monterrey for a 2-1 advantage.

Sergio Canales’ second-half goal iced the result for Monterrey, giving the hosts a 3-1-0 record through four Clausura matches. Vazquez also won seven duels and drew three fouls in his 90-minute outing.

Monterrey next visits Club America on February 3, seeking to continue its unbeaten start.
