Santos pulls out another home win, but one-goal advantage might not be enough to win Liga MX

A late goal from Julio Furch handed his side its third victory of the playoffs at Estadio Corona, but Los Guerreros wanted a bigger cushion

Julio Furch scored in the 89th minute for Santos Laguna to give the home team a 2-1 victory in the first leg of the Liga MX final Thursday. Turn the lights off. Time to take the series to Toulca.

That literally happened, with a bank of lights going out after Furch's crucial goal and fans trying to see their team home by flipping on their cell phone flashlights. Bryan Lozano's assist for Furch was more important than the fans' quick thinking.
