Clásico Regiomontano
Clásico Regiomontano, Clásico Regio, Clásico del Norte or Clásico Norteño is a football derby in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, between crosstown rival teams Monterrey and Tigres. Since the first Clásico in 1974, the two teams have competed over 100 times for bragging rights and city "honour".[1] It is known for being one of the most intensely competed derbies in Mexican football and is regarded by people in the city of Monterrey as the most important Mexican derby. The match is the biggest game of the season in Monterrey, and every year, fans wait in line for days outside the stadium just to get tickets, which are often priced at two or three times their regular value.[2][3]

Despite the fact that the game involves two neighboring cities, Monterrey and San Nicolás de los Garza, whereas the Clásico Nacional involves two teams from cities in different states, Mexico City and Guadalajara, the Clásico Regiomontano generates more monetary income in sales, publicity, etc. As of August 2018, Monterrey and Tigres have the most expensive squads in the Liga MX.[4]

Notable Clásicos
- Clásico 1.[1] The first Clásico Regiomontano. On July 13, 1974 was the first game Tigres played in the First Division, and resulted in a tie. Result: Tigres 3–3 Rayados.
- Clásico 2. The first victory goes for Monterrey. With a score of 2–1, goals for Rayados were made by Nilo Acuna at the 44th and Alfredo Jimenez at the 89th minute. Tigres goal was made by Alberto Rodriguez at a really late time of the 92nd minute.
- Clásico 12 and 13.[1][6] The first Clásico in Playoffs. On June 6, and June 16, 1979 was the first time that Tigres and Rayados met on playoffs, although this was not a direct elimination instance. In the 1978–1979 league playoffs were played in an elimination "group-stage" format, in which, after league elimination, two groups of four teams were formed and the leader of each group advanced to the Final. Tigres and Rayados were in Group 2, along with Pumas and Zacatepec. Both games were played in the Estadio Universitario. Tigres won Clásico 12 with a goal by Mantegazza at the 18th minute. Clásico 13 ended with a draw by 1–1, in which Rayados' Raúl Isiordia scored first, at the 8th minute, only to be tied at the 40th by Gerónimo Barbadillo. With these results, Tigres managed to tie first place with Pumas, but did not qualify to the final due to goal difference.
- Clasico 23. Rayados wins after six years. On September 17, 1983, Rayados defeated Tigres at their stadium after six years without winning, since February 5, 1977. Tigres holds the longest undefeated streak in Clásicos.
- Clásico 51. The relegation Clásico. Tigres had three very bad seasons being one of the worst teams in Mexico.[7] It was a done deal that Tigres would be relegated to Primera División A, but to confirm it, they only needed to lose one more game. The last game in which Tigres saw that remote possibility to stay in the First Division was the Clásico 51 on March 24, 1996, in which with goals by Sergio "El Pibe" Verdirame and Luis Miguel Salvador Monterrey won by 2–1.
- Clasico 61. Run over Rayados with six goals. On February 26, 2000, Tigres visited Rayados to their stadium. Tigres outplayed Monterrey and scored six goals. Rayados claimed that there was an irregularity with the sign on the contract of Osmar Donizete. The game was invalidated.
- Clásico 71 . The "4 a 1". On June 4, 2003, was the first time that Tigres and Rayados met in the semifinals. There was a sense that whoever won this semifinal would have been the favorite for the championship. Tigres started the first game well, scoring very early 1–0, but 4 unanswered goals by Rayados turned the tide in the game and in the Semifinals.
- Clásico 75 . Six goals again. Tigres visited Rayados and humiliated them in their own stadium by 6–2. Tigres scored 6 goals in a derby for the second time.
- Clásico 79. Rayados, again, made it to the Finals. Tigres was victorious in the first game (Clásico 78) 1–0 in the Estadio Universitario. For the second game, Rayados won 2–1, Defender Claudio Suárez saw the red card in a play that gave Rayados a penalty and the goal lead. Rayados defeated Tigres with a goal by Guillermo "El Guille" Franco as the game neared the 90 minute mark. This was the 2nd time in which Rayados advanced to the championship final games at the expense of Tigres.
- Clásico 80. It was the first time that a Clásico was played outside the country. In the finals of the Interliga 2006, held at the Home Depot Center in California, Tigres defeated Monterrey by 2–1.
- Clásico 99. Rayados defeats Tigres for the third time in direct-elimination playoffs. Tigres finished the regular season as the leader with 35 points and only 2 defeats in the regular season. One of their two defeats was against Monterrey in the Clasico 97. Monterrey did not qualify to playoffs, ending the regular season in the ninth place. Queretaro F.C. finished in eight place and was meant to be the rival of Tigres, but was relegated to Ascenso MX because of bad results from the past. So Monterrey was dragged to playoffs. In the Clasico 98, the away game of the playoffs, Monterrey defeated Tigres by 1–0 in the Estadio Tecnologico in a close game that Tigres controlled most of the time. In the second game, Tigres needed to win by 1–0, or by two goals of difference because of the away goals rule (3–1, 4–2, 5–3). Tigres came out aggressive and Danilinho scored a goal early in the game. Minutes later, with a game totally handled by Tigres, Israel Jimenez scored an own goal that tied the game 1–1, for an aggregate of 2–1.
- Clásico 100. The 100th edition of the Clásico Regiomontano. Tigres lost painfully the Clásico 99 by an own goal of Israel Jimenez and was eliminated from the liguilla (playoffs) by Monterrey. Since the elimination in the Clásico 99, Tigres was waiting a chance to redeem themselves. Both teams started aggressive but Tigres had the first chance and young Alan Pulido scored with the head the 1–0 after a long pass of Jesús Dueñas. After a mistake of Hugo Ayala, Humberto Suazo tied the game 1–1. Pulido scored again for the 2–1 for Tigres. In the second half, Tigres controlled the game and captain Lucas Lobos scored the final 3–1.
- Clásico 101. Quarterfinals at the Copa MX. After a 0–2 lead for Tigres at the end of the first half, César Delgado entered as a substitute and turned things for Monterrey by scoring the 1–2 and assisting the goal that settled the score on the 93rd minute—a dramatic headbutt from Luis Madrigal. This forced penalty kicks without overtime. Rayados scored 4 out of 4 penalty kicks. Tigres' first shot was held by Rayados' goalkeeper Juan de Dios Ibarra, and Manuel Viniegra hit the crossbar on their last shot for a final score of 4–2 for Monterrey.[8]
- Clásico 115 The first ever Clasico Regiomontano in the finals of the Liga MX. Tigres and Rayados would tie 1–1 in Tigres home stadium thanks to an early goal by Nicolás Sánchez and a panenka from Enner Valencia. In the second leg, Rayados played against Tigres in their home stadium, having never been beaten at home since Tigres beat them 2–0 in the quarterfinals of the 2017 Clasura Liguilla. An early goal by Dorlan Pabon would be irrelevant as Tigres would score twice thanks to goals by Eduardo Vargas and Francisco Meza. The game would end 1–2 with Tigres winning 3–2 aggregate and winning their sixth Liga MX championship and bragging rights in the first ever Clasico Regiomontano finals.
- Clásico 119 & 120 The first ever Clasico Regiomontano, played for the championship, in an international tournament. The final was contested in two-legged home-and-away format. The first leg was hosted by UANL at the Estadio Universitario in San Nicolás de los Garza on 23 April 2019, while the second leg was hosted by Monterrey at the Estadio BBVA Bancomer in Guadalupe on 1 May 2019. Monterrey won the finals 2–1 on aggregate for their fourth CONCACAF Champions League title and prevented Tigres from winning the CONCACAF Champions League for the third time after losing the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 editions to America and Pachuca respectively. This win marks a 100 percent win ration for Monterrey in the CONCACAF Champions League finals.
