Veteran Spanish star Sergio Ramos scored a stunning first-half header for Monterrey, delighting the decidedly pro-Mexico crowd in Southern California.

Lautaro Martinez evened it just before the break, but the Champions League finalists couldn’t generate a second goal despite having nearly2 per cent possession and conceding only one shot on target from their opponents.

Inter coach Cristian Chivu made his debut as the Nerazzurri returned to competition at the Rose Bowl just 17 days after taking that-0 thrashing from PSG in Munich.

Martinez thought he scored again in the8th minute, but it was ruled offside.
