Leon came back twice to get a great 3-2 win over Atlas in the first leg of the 2021 Apertura Final. Atlas twice took the lead, but Leon came back to tie each time, getting a late goal to take the advantage in the Liga MX Final. Atlas, who is trying to get their first Liga MX championship since 1951 battled hard and were a tough opponent, but key mistakes allowed Leon to get back in the lead. Still Leon is only one goal up and will have to go to Guadalajara, where there should be an electric atmosphere as the Atlas fans feel as close as ever to getting their first title in their lifetime and hope to end the longest tenure without a title in Mexico.
