Pachuca are the 2016 Clausura champs, having defeated Monterrey 2-1 on aggregate over the final's two legs. Los Tuzos won the home leg, 1-0, but they needed a little magic at the end of the second leg to claim the trophy.
Sunday's second leg in Monterrey got really interesting when Dorlan Pabon scored a golazo in the 39th minute to give Monterrey a 1-0 lead in the match and even the score on aggregate.

Things got worse for Pachuca in the 74th minute when Aquivaldo Mosquera got red-carded for doing this:

Yeah, you're not allowed to do that. It worked out though.
Did we mention that Pachuca haven't even had a shot on goal yet at this point in the match? It feels like we should mention that.
They finally got a shot on goal in stoppage time, and that was all they needed.
Pachuca had one shot on goal tonight.
On the last play and to win the Liga MX title! https://t.co/l9j2HVvwXC https://t.co/43sWvYc7h4— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) May 30, 2016
