Tribute to Laguna in Semi-final Win

Despite the large number of Tigres fans who attended the Estadio Corona on Sunday afternoon, the green and white colors dominated in the stands and the support for the Laguna team was total.

The atmosphere was already missed at the TSM, the enthusiasm of the Laguna fans was noticeable, the support for the team from the hotel to the stadium, the optimism despite the adverse score and the four consecutive defeats of their team.

On the other hand, the felines were accompanied by numerous followers who arrived by bus, van, and private cars, as well as those mixed with Santos' fans.

There were some scuffles, and some individuals were detained by Public Security, whose officers acted immediately to prevent any disorder due to the excitement.

In the match, from the first whistle, the crowd gave themselves to their team, the Santos chant prevailed against the large group of Tigres fans.

After the first goal, the stadium felt that the feat could be achieved, the visiting fans fell silent, and the outcome was open for either team, although with Jonathan Rodríguez's expulsion, doubts arose.

Even so, the total support returned, the crowd put pressure even on the referee, and this continued until the end, with all the nervousness generated by the failure to score a second goal and the occasional opponent's attacks.

What Djaniny did made the crowd take off their hats literally, they applauded the effort of the Cape Verdean player, who fought until the end to score the goal that would give them the win.

Tavares couldn't walk off the field on his own, he was carried off on a stretcher, which was pushed to the sidelines by goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán, who wanted to speed things up.

The closing moments were heart-stopping, with every ball that Tigres attempted to bring into the box, uncertainty loomed, but Santos defended very well and ran down the clock to celebrate the win.

Now America will be the rival, first at home and then at the Azteca Stadium, so ticket pre-sales for season ticket holders began on Sunday night itself.

It has been three years since Santos reached the semi-finals, and they did it with full authority.
