Tijuana’s 2017 Clausura was a wild ride - predictably unpredictable. The club lost their leading goalscorer when Dayro Moreno went on loan to Atletico Nacional in Colombia, and lost their top goalkeeper Federico Vilar when he retired at the end of the Apertura. The club also lost Yasser Corona to a freak spinal cord injury during the Copa MX. Any one of these things would have sunk a team.
Yet Tijuana had all of these - and more - happened within the span of the past six months. And yet they persisted, capturing the superlider for the second straight time - a feat unmatched by any other club since Liga MX split the year into two seasons.
