Monterrey, Nuevo León - Guadalajara showed that they never give up and that they will remain firm with their soccer idea in the face of any adversity, coming from behind to defeat Tigres 1-2 at the Volcán, becoming finalists in the Sky Cup, regardless of what happens on the last matchday of the competition.
