Liga MX

That did not go as planned for Toronto FC. Having just knocked mighty Club America out of the Concacaf Champions League, the reigning MLS champions surely figured to have an easier time of it against Chivas Guadalajara in the final. Chivas are having a terrible season domestically, but for some reason have been kryptonite for MLS clubs in the CCL.

They were again, handing Sebastian Giovinco and friends a 2-1 defeat in Toronto and taking a solid lead back to Mexico for the second leg.

Rodolfo Pizarro opened the scoring just a few minutes in the game.

After a really funny Santiago Garcia own goal and three red cards (Fernando Gonzalez, Pablo Barientos and Rubens Sambueza), Necaxa are officially Clausura Copa MX champions.

Toluca's Garcia is going to feel pretty badly about himself for a while after this own goal, but we're sure he'll get over it eventually. At least he kept the entertainment value at a high level. It was the only goal of the match.

Toronto FC are in the final of the Concacaf Champions League, where they will face Chivas Guadalajara, after fighting Club America to a 1-1 draw at Estadio Azteca to brush past the Mexican powerhouse 4-1 on aggregate.

Despite an early injury to Jozy Altidore that caused the striker to leave the game, Toronto struck first via Jonathan Osorio.

An extremely strong contingent of Guadalajara supporters inside Red Bull Arena watched their side hang on for the narrowest of victories on Tuesday night, Chivas doing just enough to retain their 1-0 first leg advantage over New York in the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals despite being outshot 20-1 in the second. 

The air was thinner across Mexico this last weekend. Or at least that's what you'll think after watching the following absolutely amazing long-range goals.

A screamer is always exciting. There is something about watching the ball travel at full speed through the air and then piercing the net. 

In Liga MX, this kind of goal is infrequent. 

Chivas beat the New York Red Bulls 1-0 on Wednesday in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions League semifinals. The Goats were the only Liga MX team (out of three, Club America didn't play an MLS side because LOL FC Dallas) to beat an MLS side in the quarterfinals, and it appears they still want blood.

Chivas's Isaac Brizuela was awarded the Rocket League Goal of the Game award, which is the award you get if you score the only goal in the game.

Toronto FC continued its impressive run in the Concacaf Champions League, handing Club América a 3-1 defeat at BMO Field on Tuesday. Sebastian Giovinco and Jozy Altidore both scored for the MLS champions, who also got a goal from an unlikely source. There were few positives for Club America vs Toronto, but Andrés Ibargüen gave the Liga MX side an away goal to take back to Estadio Azteca for the second leg on April 10. 

Watching Miguel Herrera fight is not new for Mexican fans. Since early on in his career, "El Piojo" has been known for his temper and explosiveness.

Over the years, we have repeatedly seen Herrera lose his mind and become violent. 

Chivas defeated the Seattle Sounders 3-0 at the Estadio Akron Wednesday night in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal, comfortably overturning a 1-0 first leg deficit by the 55th minute. Oswaldo Alanis, Eduardo Lopez and Jose Godinez scored the goals to complete the semifinal bracket: it’s Chivas vs. the New York Red Bulls on one side and Club America vs. Toronto FC on the other.

Landon Donovan has gotten off the mark for his new club, Leon. In a sense, that is. We'll give it to him.

Donovan came on as a substitute in Leon's Copa MX clash against Atletico Zacatepec, and managed to stick around until the penalty shootout.

Leon ended up losing the shootout 7-6, but one of the penalty takers was talented American youngster Landon Donovan.

WHACK.
