Well it seems like we've got a Mexican Graham Poll in our midst. In the same way that the Englishman enjoys pointing to the spot when there's doubt and waving play-on when it's clear cut, referee Gabriel Gomez missed an obvious take down of Chivas forward Omar Bravo. But in the end, only Chivas were to blame for not putting away the chances afforded to them and then falling asleep at the wheel with just 15 minutes left in the game.
The second-leg of the Mexican final takes places on Sunday afternoon in Toluca. As opposed to the way it's played in Europe, if the aggregate scoreline is even after the 90 minutes this weekend, there is no away-goals rule. The teams go straight to two 15 minute extra time periods, and then to penalties if necessary.
Follow the build-up to the second-leg match at Soccer y Futbol, Joe and Bernardo have got it covered.
