The match kicks off
The match between Pachuca and Toluca is ready at the Hidalgo Stadium, where a stadium with a large crowd can be seen.
This is the second match in which Volpi concedes 5 goals in a final, in 2015 in the first leg final, Santos defeated the Gallos Blancos 5-0 (this result being the largest first leg final goal in the history of Mexican soccer), while in the second leg Querétaro defeated Santos 3-0 for a 5-3 aggregate score, a result with which Santos was crowned champion.
The Tuzos' success story began in Winter 1999, under Javier Aguirre. The man who led the institution to the title match against Cruz Azul, with a 3-2 aggregate score, with a brilliant performance by Alejandro Glaria.
Pachuca's sixth and last Liga MX title came under Diego Alonso, who defeated Víctor Manuel Vucetich and Rayados with a 2-1 aggregate score. The scorers of the match were Franco Jara and Víctor Guzmán.
Óscar Ustari and Pachuca will meet in their second consecutive Mexican Soccer Final; the first was a 3-2 aggregate defeat against Atlas. Now that they have a big advantage, the Argentine goalkeeper and the Tuzos have a great opportunity for revenge.
"The reality is that when we started the previous 90 minutes, we, and I think you too, have an open wound that we had three months to heal, but it still hasn't healed, it still hasn't healed, we still have 90 minutes to go, we are aware, you also have to be aware that no match is won before it is played", said Ustari to the fans.
The four-goal advantage that the Tuzos achieved against Toluca by beating them 5-1 in the first leg of the Final looks almost impossible to overcome; however, all is not lost, as the Devils are the last team that has been able to defeat the Tuzos by a four-goal difference.
The 2019-20 edition of the MX Cup was being played, the two teams were facing each other in the second leg of the Quarter-Finals at the Nemesio Diez; both teams drew 2-2 in the first leg at the Hidalgo Stadium, so that night, on February 18, 2020, the series would be decided in hell.
Toluca will be looking for the feat of winning the crown against Pachuca, something that former Chilean striker Héctor Mancilla sees as a possibility, despite the big disadvantage.
"Well, I think they have made a good close of the regular tournament and are making a very good liguilla and that allows them to be in the grand final. I think they are well managed; for me, Nacho Ambriz is one of the best coaches in Mexican soccer. He has put together a great squad, which has aspirations to fight for the title and now the last test remains, which is to win the cup".
Box seats at the Hidalgo stadium are priced at up to 100,000 pesos and general tickets for the second leg of the final between Pachuca and Toluca are priced at 3,000 pesos.
On October 27, the pre-sale of tickets for Tuzocio members only began; however, within a few hours the tickets were sold out. Later, Pachuca announced on its official website that tickets would go on sale to the general public at a cost of 1,700 pesos, which also sold out in a short period of time.
Ignacio Ambriz, Toluca's technical director, does not lose faith, the scarlet helmsman assured that he is confident that they will do the heroic deed after what happened in the first leg.
"We are not dead, there is life. They may laugh at me, I don't care. Internally, things are screwed up, but there are two 45 or 50-minute halves where we have to go out and play. We have little to lose and a lot to win. I heard that we are considered dead and it's good that we are considered dead because my team will give another face on Sunday.
"We have to play with intelligence and be aware of that, not to look for the fourth without the first. We have to do the heroic deed," he said.
The weight of the "curse" of sixth place will continue to take its toll on teams in the Liga Mx, since out of 79 tournaments played since 1970-71, only in the 1988-89 season was América able to shake off this curse and win the crown starting from sixth place in the general table.
Obviously, the strength of these numbers has wreaked havoc on the Diablos Rojos del Toluca, who after arriving as the favorite team for having eliminated América in the semifinals, it was thought that they could get rid of it, but now they not only have the weight of the victory, but also the weight of sixth place.
