The azulcrema crushed, not only on the scoreboard with goals from Roger Martínez (7), Diego Valdés (15) and Alejandro Zendejas (18), but also in the rhythm of the game Toluca and returned the joy to the millions of fans who has the club throughout Mexico, the United States and the scattered in the rest of the world.
“We know the reality we live in, that’s why we needed to win, there was no other option; today we were able to do it for more goals, but it doesn’t matter, we had to win at home and that was the most important thing to seek classification”, added Ortiz.
