MEXICO CITY, May 10 (Reuters) - Santos Laguna were gifted the eighth and final Mexican league playoff spot on Sunday after Toluca failed to beat the Tigres of Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon (UANL) in a crucial end-of-season decider.
Toluca needed to win to go above Santos, who had drawn 2-2 with Puebla on Saturday.
While Toluca had 19 shots to UANL's six and hit the woodwork in the 92nd minute they could not get the vital goal against the league leaders from Monterrey.
"We didn't deserve anything today, a team that aspires to the title can't play like we did," said Toluca coach Jose Saturnino Cardozo.
