Necaxa wins Copa MX title after shocking Toluca own goal

Necaxa couldn't find the back of the net in Wednesday's Copa MX contest against Toluca, but Toluca did it for them.

With the match scoreless in the 87th minute, Felipe Gallegos sent forward a long ball looking for forward Martin Barragan. Toluca center back Santiago Garcia intervened at the top of the box, but rather than clearing the ball out for a goal kick as intended he looped in a stunning own goal over the head of goalkeeper Alfredo Talavera.

Necaxa had four titles in the Copa Mexico to its name, but all came well before the modern era.
