Liga MX legend Alfredo Moreno passes away

Alfredo Moreno, legendary player who holds the record for most goals scored in Liga MX by an Argentine player, has died. The ex-forward died on Wednesday of complications from stomach cancer in Aguascalientes, Mexico. He had a storied career in Mexico, especially with Necaxa and Club San Luis, although he won his only Liga MX title with Club Tijuana in 2012. Moreno came up with Boca Juniors, although he had played on loan in Cuatitlan, Necaxa’s second division feeder team, before making his breakthrough in Boca, so even part of his youth football development happened in Mexico. He also had spells with Racing Club and in China before his 15 year career through various teams in Mexico.
