C.F. Monterrey beat Hamilton’s Forge FC 2-0 in the first leg match of their 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup first round tie at Hamilton Stadium Wednesday night.
The LigaMX club took victory on a frigid evening in Hamilton thanks to two second half goals by Nelson Deossa and Jordi Cortizo.
“We obviously had some chances,” said Forge FC’s Tristan Borges after the match. “But when you play against a team like Monterrey, with that much quality you have to take advantage of those chances. They’re obviously going to capitalize on theirs.”
The Canadian Premier League club now faces an uphill battle if they want to progress past the first round of the competition for the first time ever, needing to overturn the deficit in the return leg in Mexico Tuesday, Feb. 11.
