Hi, I’m Mariel with The18, and this is Hablaliga MX.
The stage is set for the 2018 Clausura Final between Toluca and Santos Laguna, and all eyes will be on dueling strikers Fernando Uribe and Djaniny Tavares.
Uribe accounted for four of the five goals Toluca scored against Tijuana, whereas Djaniny was kept off the scoresheet by America. However, Julio Furch and Jonathan Rodriguez showed that they are truly warriors by coming through in the clutch.
Another interesting battle is between Toluca’s Alfredo Talavera and Santos Laguna’s Jonathan Orozco — two of the three keepers that Mexico will bring to the World Cup.
Estadio Corona will be rocking on Thursday night, and the atmosphere at La Bombonera — hosting its first Liga MX final since 2012 — should be truly special for the conclusion of the 2017-18 Liga MX season.
