Monterrey vs Santos Laguna Report
It's celebration time "four" Monterrey, who lift the championship trophy after besting Santos Laguna.
A tinge of fear was felt all throughout the city of Monterrey on Sunday night. The dread wasn't stemming from the home team's locker room, as the Rayados looked loose and confident despite being a goal down. Santos Laguna weren't guilty of the feeling either. They were just 90 minutes away from potentially winning the title.
No, the fear that could be felt throughout the Estadio Tecnologico and beyond came strictly from the side of town that supports UANL Tigres... a team that has gone nearly 30 years without a title, were now dreading the fact that their hated rival could pick up their third in just seven years.
Monterrey vs Santos Laguna Preview
It is crunch time for Santos Laguna and Monterrey as both teams will fight for their fourth championship in franchise history.
Ninety minutes separate Ruben Omar Romano from his first championship as a manager. Twelve years of near-misses, cruel bounces of the ball and poor squads are almost over for the Argentine, who nonetheless will face an incredibly difficult task in front of him as a battle-hardened Monterrey team headed by a five-time champion manager lie before him.
Santos Laguna repeated their bid to be Mexican league champions after they were denied in the Bicentenario 2010, and with a favorable 3-2 result in the first leg, stand before their fourth league title in franchise history.
