Dorados win promotion to Liga MX

The side from Northeastern Mexico won Saturday in the promotion playoff to clinch a spot in Liga MX.

Dorados de Sinaloa are back in the Mexican top flight after a 2-0 win Saturday gave them a 3-1 aggregate victory over Necaxa in the Ascenso MX promotion playoff.

Raul Enriquez scored all three of Dorados' goals in the series including two second-half goals Saturday to help lift the Sinaloa side back to the first division. Dorados will return to Liga MX for the first time since the spring of 2006. 

"The club put forth an enormous effort, the directors put forth a great squad, the players put in a very good tournament," Dorados manager Carlos Bustos said.
