The 28-year-old got his side going in the 3-1 win with a stunning strike on 33 minutes, only for his fortunes to change horrifically two minutes later.
Montes was stretchered off after a coming together with Ecuador's Segundo Castillo, leaving coach Miguel Herrera to admit the team 'prayed for him'.
'We prayed for him and now we're going to hope that he recuperates as soon as possible,' said Mexico coach Miguel Herrera, speaking through a translator.
'We're going to have a long talk tomorrow to keep the players focused.'
The clash left Montes, who plays his football for Leon, unable to stand as the Mexican covered his face while carried off the field to the applause of 84,876 fans.
