Two overachieving outsiders face off for a chance to lift the 2018 Clausura trophy when Santos Laguna welcome the Diablos Rojos of Toluca in the First Leg of the Liga MX Final.
Santos Laguna will, no doubt, come in as the brighter of the two sides after taking down the defending champions Tigres and crushing favorites Club América. However, Toluca, while not having an outstanding Liguilla, were abnormally difficult to stop during the regular season and will look to cap off an amazing year with another league trophy.
Tactically, the match will require big decisions from both managers, and striking the right balance may be the key.
