Liga MX Wrap: Leon, America into final

America came from behind to beat Toluca 3-2 on aggregate after their 2-0 home leg win.

Goals from Aquivaldo Mosquera and Jesus Molina - both headers from crosses - saw Miguel Herrera's men book their final spot.

Herrera's time at the club is coming to an end after he was given the reins to lead the Mexico national team to the World Cup in 2014 and beyond, but his chargers extended his finale to the two-leg decider starting Wednesday.

A penalty for Santos Laguna on the whistle – converted by Juan Rodriguez – extended their home unbeaten streak to six matches, but it was scant consolation as Leon celebrated reaching their first final since 1997.
