You’re unlikely to see the highlights on Sportsnet Connected, or Sportscentre this morning, but North America's most important sporting event of yesterday took place near Monterrey, Mexico. There, UNAL Tigres played Santos Laguna in the second leg of the Apertura final. Tigres had won the first let 1-0 on the road, setting up the scenes you can watch in the video below:

The championship was Tigres’ first in 29 years.
What’s this have to do with Canadian soccer? Nothing, but it’s always worthwhile to be reminded of the passion and joy that makes our sport so special – 29 years of loyality rewarded over 90 minutes. I’m sure if you talked to a Tigres fan today they’d tell you it was worth the wait.
