Though the Clasico Tapatio looked like the best Liguilla fixture, it was Thursday's other match spicing things up, writes Jon Arnold.
When the Liguilla fixtures were finalized, one caught they. Indeed, there was a clear winner among the first legs, but it wasn't the Clasico Tapatio as some experts (who me?) forecasted. Instead, Thursday's other fixture, the one pitting colorful animals against each other, was the real show-stopper.
The Gallos Blancos (white roosters) of Queretaro nabbed the late advantage from the Tiburones Rojos (red sharks) of Veracruz and set up what should be a superb second leg.
