The state of Celaya is going through difficult times
In the last few hours, the state of Celaya has gone through tense moments in the streets, as armed groups have generated disturbances, blocking roads and confronting the police, even burned vehicles have been seen in the streets, it is hoped that this will not affect the game for the Expansion title.
Two great coaches played for these teams
Ignacio Ambriz and Miguel Herrera, two Mexican coaches who have had great careers as coaches, being champions in Liga MX, both played for Celaya and Atlante respectively, as players they had an equally outstanding career.
Old-time ending
Celaya and Atlante faced each other more than 20 years ago in a first division final, now in the second division the teams are proudly seeking the title, as there is no possibility of promotion.
All set for the grand finale

Two good defenses

Atlante seeks another championship
Atlante, a team with a long tradition in Mexican soccer, is making the most of its return to Mexico City in the best possible way and is making a habit of reaching the grand final, this season was very good for them, as they finished second and only had one defeat in the regular season, In the playoffs the team has not been defeated either and with these sensations they have already played the first leg of the final, the duel at home ended in a scoreless draw, for Atlante not having the advantage in the first leg may be a factor against them because Celaya has proven to be very strong at home, the match will have few opportunities and they will have to give their best, as it will be a very tiring game.
Celaya wants to leave the title at home
Celaya, the tournament leader, is very close to closing an extraordinary campaign with a championship, the team has become accustomed to playing in the playoffs and now arrives at a time when it was the best of the tournament, the road to the final has not been so complicated, as the team's dominance has been great, in the quarterfinals the team left Durango on the road in two games with a 1-0 victory, In the semifinals the Cimarrones put up a fight at home and the game ended in a draw, and for the second leg Celaya won 3-1 at home. In the first leg against Atlante they were unable to take advantage and it is hoped that they can celebrate the championship at home, with the support of their fans and good soccer the team would have no problems to beat Atlante.
Everything is resolved at Miguel Aleman
The first leg Final in the MX Expansion League had many contrasts, because on the field there was a lot of dispute, but few opportunities for real danger, in the stands there were some outbursts and in the end the game ended in a goalless draw, two of the best teams in the tournament showed that they will not give anything away and in the second leg there will be no exception, it will be interesting to see how they will play in the field in search of the title.
