Cruz Azul win Copa GNP por Mexico after last minute goal

Cruz Azul won the Copa GNP por Mexico after defeating Chivas in the final by a score of 2-1. It was a very even game throughout, but it ended in controversial fashion when the first penalty kick awarded in the tournament came against Chivas and broke the 1-1 tie. Cruz Azul finishes undefeated, and that they are champions is a nice surprise after many people expected them to have trouble because of a number of positive COVID-19 tests before the tournament. Chivas meanwhile had a great tournament in which they won their Superclasico, but will leave with a sour taste of how if finished.
