Blanco goes out with Copa MX title as Puebla downs Chivas

The retiring Mexican legend played 20 minutes as Puebla claimed the Copa MX crown with a 4-2 win over Chivas.

Cuauhtemoc Blanco is going out a champion.

The retiring Mexican legend added one last trophy to his resume, logging the final 20 minutes of Puebla's 4-2 win over Chivas in the Copa MX final Tuesday.

Blanco, who is ending a 23-year playing career and turning his attention to a mayoral campaign in Cuernavaca, got a proper send-off from his teammates, who lifted the 42-year-old above their shoulders after the final whistle. The celebratory scenes came after a stoppage-time power outage delayed the end of the match at the Estadio Universitario BUAP.
