Leon defeats Tigres to book ticket to the Liga MX Final

Leon got a 2-1 victory over Tigres, punching their ticket to the Liga MX Final. Leon bounced back from their first leg loss, getting a win by the same score that gets them through by their better regular season record. Tigres bounced back from an early goal to get the tie that would have gotten them through but Tigres made defensive substitutions that caused the team to sit back which ended up costing them. Leon will now wait for tonight’s match to see who they face and when. Should Atlas get through, Leon will open the final at home and close out in Guadalajara; should Pumas qualify, they will have the second leg at home in a repeat of the 2020 Apertura Final of a year ago.
