Santos Laguna first made it to La Primera Division, Mexico’s top flight {see this, from Wikipedia}, in 1988, just 5 years after they were founded. They won their first Title in 1996, in the Invierno competition (which was played between August and November, and predated the corresponding Apertura competition, of today’s Mexican league). The club won their second Title in the 2001 Verano competition (which was played in the spring, and is now called the Clausura). They won their third Title last Sunday, after drawing 1-1 versus Cruz Azul, to take the crown on a 3-2 aggregate. This is a club that barely avoided relegation last year.
Here is a goal from the 29th May first leg, by Santos Laguna’s Fernando Arce (101 Goals site, click here}.
