Atlas made it to the Liga MX Final for the first time since 1999 even with losing 1-0 at home against Pumas. Atlas was the better team, but the game had a wild finish after getting a goal. Unfortunately, the game was marred by controversy from a bad job from referee Jorge Perez Duran. Still Atlas was the better team for 180 minutes and now hopes to end the longest drought in Liga MX and win their first Liga MX title since 1951.
The first half started with Pumas coming out with two forwards, Diogo de Oliveira and Juan Ignacio Dinenno, knowing they needed to win by two goals while Atlas came out with the same linueup they had been playing with.
