Liguilla day eight

Wow. Talk about drama. Unbelievable drama. That's what Santos and Monterrey pieced together in the second half of Sunday's decisive second leg. The two teams had tied 1-1 on Thursday and Santos needed just a draw to advance. But Jared Borgetti and Humberto Suazo each scored in the second half and Monterrey held a 2-0 lead with a quarter hour standing in the way of them and a trip to the final against Cruz Azul.

But Matias Vuoso and Fernando Arce had other thoughts as Santos battled back to claim a spot in the final.

one of the better games ive seen in a long while.

ever notice that lavolpe always looks angry after his team scores? but then looks nonchalant/smiles after they give up a goal?

arce = instant santos icon

Big plays such as the goal against Monterrey is why I had Arce in my Clausura 2008's Best XI.

Should be an entertaining final.
