Monterrey wins third CCL title

While the Mexican National team was training for their final friendly game against Nigeria, Mexico had their CONCACAF Champions League final. The final was between Monterrey and Santos Laguna.  Monterrey was considered the underdog of the game because Santos was ahead Monterrey in the Mexican league.

The game took place in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon at the stadium ""El Tecnologico".  Monterrey was losing 2-0 at home.  In the last thirty minutes Monterrey step it up and score three goals. Monterrey's first goal was scored by Aldo de Nigris. Then Neri Cardoza, ties the  game with a 2-2, in the minute eighty-three.  Finally, Aldo de Nigris scores the last winning goal. The whole stadium went crazy; they couldn’t believe what was happening. Mexico scored three goals in the last ten minutes. Santos Laguna couldn´t believe it.

 Monterrey is going to have a long lasting party. “Monterrey rolled to its third consecutive Club World Cup after completing a massive comeback on Santos Laguna” Eric Gomez mentions in goal.com.  It doesn’t happen really often a team winning three times in a row. Since 1972 that we didn’t see this, the last team that had a three wins was the "Independientes".

 I’m from Monterrey and I’m a big fan of the team. Monterrey did an amazing job. They are a great example of why you shouldn´t give up until the end. Honestly, I didn’t think they were going to go this far. During the season Monterrey was not looking really solid.  I’m proud of being a fan, and I strongly believe this consecutive winning will never be forgotten.
