Pumas surprises Cruz Azul to get victory and clinch second place in Liga MX

Pumas closed out a historic season by coming back to defeat Cruz Azul by a score of 2-1. With the win Pumas clinched the second place in Liga MX. While the game was expected to be the deciding game for the Liguilla, results before that in which Monterrey lost and Tigres tied meant that both teams had booked their ticket to the Liguilla regardless of the result (although a crushing defeat for either team could have still given the ticket to Monterrey). Still it was a city rivalry and with the win, Pumas close out a historic season where for the first time since the short tournament format started, they end with only one loss.
