Pachuca making late playoff push after miserable start

Tuzos' 3-1 win over Santos Laguna means they'll control their own destiny with the Liguilla rapidly approaching

Everything felt right again at the Estadio Hidalgo.

Opponents have found vulnerabilities in Pachuca's fortress - and Tuzos' defense - this season, but the home side rolled to a 3-1 win against second-place Santos Laguna on Saturday night, delivering fans the type of performance they've become accustomed to.

Keisuke Honda scored the first goal and set up the second in a victory that took Pachuca to 21 points and into the final playoff position with two weeks to play.
