El Clásico Regiomontano City or region Monterrey, Mexico First contested 1974 Teams involved UANL & Monterrey Most wins Tigres UANL (33 wins) Clásico Regiomontano is a football derby in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, between crosstown rival teams Monterrey and UANL.
Since the first Clásico in 1974, the two teams have competed 91 times for bragging rights and city honour.[1] 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]
This is despite the fact that both Rayados and Tigres play in far smaller stadiums than either America's Estadio Azteca or Guadalajara's Estadio Jalisco,[4] and also despite the fact that the Clásico Regiomontano involves teams from only one city, while the National derby involves teams from two more populated cities (Mexico City and Guadalajara).[5]
In 35 years and 92 games of heated Tigres has won 33 games, while Rayados 32. The teams have tied on 26 occasions, with one game being suspended.

- Clásico 1[1] on July 13, 1974. The first Clásico Regiomontano was the first game Tigres played in the First Division, and resulted in a tie. Result: Tigres 3-3 Rayados.
- Clásico 2 Monterrey won the first clasico Regiomontano in Nuevo Leon 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] on June 6, and June 16, 1979. This was the first time that Tigres and Rayados met on play-offs. In the 1978-1979 league playoffs where played in an elimination "group-stage" format, in which, after league elimination, two groups of four teams where formed and the leader of each group advanced to the Final. Tigres and Rayados where in Group 2, along with Pumas and Zacatepec. Both games where 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.
- Clásico 51 on March 24, 1996. Tigres had three very bad seasons being the worst team in Mexico,[7] as a result of governmental corruption (Tigres were then government-owned). 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 was the Clásico, in which with goals by Sergio "El Pibe" Verdirame with a stupendous gol de volea that shut the mouth of everyone in the stadium and another awesome goal from Luis Miguel Salvador putting the ball in the air half spin an chiping the ball over the goalie scoring the second , Monterrey won by 2-1.
- Clásico 71 The "4 a 1" on June 4, 2003. This was the first time that Tigres and Rayados met in the Semifinals. There was a sense that 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 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 an incredible goal by Guillermo "El Guille" Franco as the game neared the 90 minute mark. For the 2nd time, Rayados advanced to the championship final at the expense of Tigres.
