Atlas had in his hands the possibility of making history and he did not let it go, because his desire is to be in the select list of two-time champions in short tournaments. And it was not enough for the Foxes to be Champion after 70 years, but they once again reached the Final against the best team in the tournament.

And it is that In the history of short tournaments, only the UNAM Pumas and León have managed to be champions two consecutive semesters.

Despite of the “comfortable” advantage, we must remember that Atlas suffered in the semifinal against the Tigres de la UANL, who scored 4 goals in 45 minutes.

Everything will be defined next Sunday May 29 at 8:00 p.m. at the Hidalgo stadium.
