Iker Fimbres Shines in Clásico Regio 139

Iker Jareth Fimbres Ochoa, born on June 2, 2005, in Hermosillo, Sonora, is a 19-year-old Mexican soccer player who plays as an attacking midfielder and has gone through the entire training process in the youth system of Rayados de Monterrey.

Fimbres made his debut in the First Division during the Apertura 2024 in a match against Cruz Azul, in which Monterrey suffered a defeat. Coach Fernando Ortiz gave him the opportunity to play, partly due to the 20/11 rule, and the young player played the last 21 minutes of the match.

Although he was initially not planned to start as a starter against Tigres, an injury to a teammate opened up an opportunity that Iker Fimbres took full advantage of by scoring a double, including an impressive long-distance goal that surprised Nahuel Guzmán.

As a result of his outstanding performance in Clásico Regio 139, where Rayados defeated Tigres 4-2, Fimbres became a trending topic on social media. Many users noted his striking resemblance to Omar Bravo, the historic scorer of Chivas, generating speculation about whether there was any relation between them, although there is not.

The young player has already accumulated 156 minutes in the First Division and aims to establish himself as an undisputed starter by taking advantage of the opportunities provided by his coach, in addition to having experience with the Under-20 national team.

In Clásico Regio 139, Iker Fimbres, 19 years old and a youth player of Rayados, became the team's standout by scoring two goals that contributed to Monterrey's victory over Tigres 4-2 at Estadio BBVA.
