Marcial Breaks the Curse and Scores His First Goal for Monterrey

Former AEK striker Antony Martial has scored his first goal for Monterrey in a friendly match against Leones Negros, after 12 games and four months in Mexico. The player had faced difficulties adapting to the team, with criticism for lack of effort and comparisons to a cone. He had even sought help from a hypnotist to overcome his poor form. The goal came after an individual effort, where Martial crossed the left wing, evaded two defenders and scored with a diagonal shot.
