Cruz Azul Rallies Past Pumas 2-1 to Win the Clausura Title on a Stoppage-Time Goal
- On Sunday, Cruz Azul won its 10th Liga MX title, defeating Pumas 2-1 in the final as interim manager Joel Huiqui guided the team just weeks after Nicolas Larcamon was fired.
- Paraguayan midfielder Robert Morales scored in the 30th minute to put Pumas ahead, but an own goal in the 53rd minute tied the match before extra time.
- Two expulsions left Pumas with nine players: Uriel Antuna was sent off in the 91st minute and Angel Rico in the 97th, before Rodolfo Rotondi scored the stoppage-time winner.
- Rotondi told TUDN after the match, "We were close, we competed three years," as the victory ended a championship drought dating to 1997.
- Huiqui is likely to be offered a full-time coaching deal, while the club now holds 10 titles, a total surpassed only by Club America with 16.
