Diego Maradona's Dorados fall short of promotion as Atletico San Luis wins Ascenso MX

Diego Maradona twice got his team to the brink but Dorados de Sinaloa were twice rebuffed by Atletico San Luis.

The second leg of the Clausura final went to extra time Sunday after ending scoreless, but a goal from Unai Bilbao in extra time was enough for the club to win the second division. Last week's first leg finished 1-1, with Dorados being awarded a controversial penalty in the first half but Juan David Castro was able to find an equalizer in the second half.

The Argentine legend arrived in Sinaloa in the fall and found success with a nine-match undefeated run at one point during the Apertura before running into Atletico in the final and falling short.
