Monarcas Morelia fight back to shock León, advance to Liga MX Semifinals

Monarcas Morelia recovered from going a goal down to beat Club León 2-1 at the Nou Camp and advance to the Semifinals of the 2019 Liga MX Apertura.

The First Leg had ended with 3-3 draw, which meant a win by any scoreline would put the Michoacanos through to the next round. But it was La Fiera who went on the front foot early when Jose Juan Macias, who was doubtful through injury head of this match, almost put the hosts ahead with an angled shot that went just wide of Morelia’s goal.

Monarcas were hanging on and almost capitalized off a a set-piece when a Mario Osuna header forced Rodolfo Cota to a brilliant save.
