When Pachuca and Toluca opened Liga MX the right way

Tomorrow we’ll have the first Liga MX final between Pachuca and Toluca. Although they have faced each other many times in past Liguillas, this will be the first final between two teams that were the surprise teams in the 2000s, where these low level market clubs became the best teams in Mexican football. Among some of their extense history, there is one that has kind of been forgotten. Back in the 2000-01 football year, Pachuca and Toluca played each other in Matchday 1 of the Invierno 2000 and Verano 2001 seasons and provided some of the most lively goal scoring games to start both seasons.
