Atlante and Celaya equalize in the end of the first leg

As rarely happens, the award for perseverance throughout a tournament came to the defining match of the championship in the Apertura 2022. Atlante and Celaya drew goalless on the field of the Ciudad de los Deportes stadium to leave the result with the same chances for both teams in the second leg final that will be played next Saturday, November 12 at the Miguel Alemán Valdés stadium.

The Bulls were the best team in the regular tournament after collecting 38 points after 12 wins, two draws and three losses, while the Iron Colts had four fewer units with nine wins, seven draws and only lost one match, which was against his now rival in the grand final.

Under the current Liga Expansión MX format, Celaya has not been able to lift a title and it is the first time they have reached the final since 1995, where they lifted the only trophy they hold in the division. For its part, Atlante has undergone a huge restructuring since its relegation in 2014 where it was even close to disappearing due to economic problems, now it is one of the leading clubs in the development league by playing, with this, three finals in two and a half years to already add a championship and be the still current Champion of Champions.

The nicknamed People’s Team made their court a fortress, because in the current season A2022 does not know defeat and remained undefeated against Celaya in the grand final. Despite the fact that the Toros were the team that led the division and even showed a lot of solidity by being the best defense in the tournament, they found themselves on the ropes against the Blaugrana’s offense.
