Monterrey gives up lead to Club América, but then takes Liga MX title in penalties

Monterrey entered the second leg of the Liga MX Apertura final holding a narrow, 2-1 lead over Club América.

They had the lead thanks to a wild, stoppage-time bicycle kick winner in the first leg of the final, and in the second leg … they promptly blew it.

They gave up two goals to América, but scored one, which tied the game up 3-3 on aggregate. Extra time couldn’t find a winner, so they went to penalties, and there, Monterrey finally prevailed. The last kick of the decade went the way for Monterrey, and they are champions.

You can see all the highlights from the match below.
