Mexico's LIga MX was decided last night in dramatic fashion.  Having won the first leg 1-0, Cruz Azul travelled across Mexico City to play in the Azteca Styadiium, the home of opponents Club America. Cruz Azul scored in the 20th minute and lead 2-0 on aggregate into the 89th minute.  With no away goals rule, Mexico's biggest club Club America needed 2 late goals.  The first came in the 89th minute and in the 93rd minute, they got a corner

Club America's keeper Moises Munoz diving header was deflected in and the Azteca erupted as the Mexican League had it's own "Aguerooooo" moment.  After a scoreless extratime period, Munoz saved the first penalty and Club America would go on to win the shootout and complete a memorable comeback.

It is the first championship for the Mexican Giants since 2005 and the celebrations are still ongoing.
