Maradona's Dorados into Ascenso MX playoff semifinals

Diego Maradona's Dorados are into the Ascenso MX semifinals after topping Mineros de Zacatecas on Saturday night.

A goal from Vinicio Angulo in the 65th minute was enough for Maradona's side, who picked up a 1-0 second leg win following a 0-0 draw in the opening leg.

Dorado's push was aided by a red card just moments after Angulo's goal as Eder Cruz was sent off for Mineros to ease the thoughts of a comeback.

As a result, Maradona's side are into the semifinal after being closer to relegation than contender when the Argentinian legend took over in September.
