Santos Laguna hoists the trophy as 2012 Mexican Clausura Champions
The Puddle would like to extend congratulations to Santos Laguna, who beat 2 time defending CONCACAF Champions Monterrey 3-2 over two legs to claim the 2012 Mexican Clausura title. The title is their 4th overall in the Mexican Primera Division..
The win is huge for the Mexican side founded in 1983. Coming into this final, they had been to 3 of the last 4 finals in Mexico, losing them all. They also lost to Monterrey in the finals of the CONCACAF Champions League last month. This should be, and deserves to be, very sweet for the Torreon side.
The first leg was played in Monterrey earlier this week and ended in a 1-1 draw. Santos won last night's 2nd leg in Torreon 2-1 with goals from Oribe Peralta and Daniel Luduena. Monterrey manager Victor Manuel Vucetich suffered his first ever loss in a final.. His stats include 5 Mexico Primera titles and the 2 CONCACAF titles.
Last night was all about Santos though, and I hope the team and their supporters enjoy it!
