In the return leg yesterday in Torreon, Santos won their 3rd Championship in their history. They took it with a 1-1 tie vs Cruz Azul.

Last night the 1st leg was played in Estadio Azul, and the home team Cruz Azul came out dominating the entire 1st half. They controlled the rhythm and had the ball on the Santos side of the field the majority of the time. Santos defenders were yelling at each other, Oswaldo Sanchez was yelling [...]

After the post game fight that happened between Chiapas and Cruz Azul, we now have the decision from the Fed.
Christian Riveros and Joel Huiqui have been suspended for 1 game. 2 Assistents were also suspended.
Not very harsh, if you ask me, especially since Torrado, Dominquez, Lugo and others were all in the mix. Hopefully [...]

Salvador Cabañas is the man! With 2 goals and cohesive defense and team play, America takes a 2-0 advantage in the 1st leg of their series with Santos of Brazil. This can be considered semi-verification that their passing Flamengo was not a fluke. They have not lost under new Head man “Cabezon” Luna. They seem [...]

Chivas were overall leaders in the table during this Clausura but that doesn’t mean that they will fly through the Liguilla. Ricardo Lavolpe, coach of the Chivas’ next rival says that the statistics show the super leader doesn’t mean anything. I remember some years back when Cuauhtemoc Blanco played with the now relegated Veracruz team [...]
