VIDEO: Club America Takes Liga MX Final Lead Over Monterrey on Aggregate With Richard Sanchez Golazo
By Sam Dunn
Las Aguilas are back! After giving up a last-gasp stunner of a goal to Monterrey's Rogelio Funes Mori in the first leg of the final of Liga MX Apertura play, two goals in the first half of leg two have shifted things all the way back in Club America's favor. In the 41st minute, Richard Sanchez did the honors from a long way out, sending the crowd at the Estadio Azteca into a frenzy.
Rayados came into tonight's decisive game with a hard-won advantage, but with one big swing of the leg, that's all come crashing down. Now, the burden is on them to overcome a partisan crowd and come up with the same kind of magic that propelled them to a 2-1 advantage heading out of Thursday night's first leg of this tie.
