Tigres UANL had a four-leaf clover on their side, or perhaps a miracle helped them in the first leg of the Liga MX final, as the ball propelled by Jesus Angulo's shot didn't cross the goal line as it got caught in the turf, allowing Tigres to maintain their 1-0 lead against Toluca.

A play where everyone assumed Toluca would equalize immediately after conceding a goal in the 46th minute through Angel Correa, but when Angulo faced Tigres' Argentine goalkeeper, Nahuel Guzman, the ball took a strange turn upon impact with the turf, preventing it from following its normal trajectory towards the goal.

Even in the images and broadcast of the match, you can see the anguish of Tigres defender Jesus Garza as he tries to clear the ball away from his goal, while goalkeeper Nahuel Guzman looks desperate at the possibility of the ball crossing the goal line.

Perhaps it was a trick by those who mow the grass at Estadio Universitario, but in reality, nothing can be guaranteed; it's simply a matter of... Nahuel Guzman benefited from a twist of fate, as the ball didn't cross the goal line, allowing defender Jesus Garza to clear it to the side.

This play was even attributed to the poor grass cutting at Tigres' home stadium, but in the end, the poor condition of the pitch affected both goalkeepers; the difference was that Nahuel Guzman had the luck every team needs to win the championship.

It could also be said that Tigres had the luck of champions, and that this play, if the score remains the same, would be crucial after Angel Correa's goal, which was due to a mistake by goalkeeper Hugo Gonzalez. The whims of football, the gods of Olympus, or even a miracle from Guadalupe at the dawn of their umpteenth celebration in our country kept the feline goal unbroken, and this could help them win the title next Sunday.

In the play,Angulo of the Red Devils launched his shot, which passed between Nahuel Guzman's legs with such luck that the ball hit the goalkeeper's backside, slowing its speed. But suddenly, something stopped its trajectory before the goal line, as if the height of the grass itself prevented the ball from entering the net, miraculously saving the Tigres. This play was quickly discussed on social media, but the reality is that the ball took a strange turn. Beyond Nahuel Guzman stopping the force of the shot with part of his body, something more powerful prevented the ball from crossing the goal line and becoming a goal for Tigres.
