There are miracles and then there's what Pumas UNAM need in the second leg of the Liga MX final.
Los Felinos suffered an embarrassing 3-0 loss to Tigres at the Estadio Universitario on Thursday. Goals from Andre-Pierre Gignac, Javier Aquino and Rafael Sobis produced a star-studded performance few clubs -- if any -- could rival in Mexico.

Somehow, Ismael Sosa, Eduardo Herrera, Matías Britos and Fidel Martinez must find a way to mirror it in front of a capacity crowd in Mexico City.
Should they manage, it would be Tigres' first loss in 12 matches.

What They're Saying
Pumas UNAM striker Eduardo Herrera (via Esto): "The result looks bad, but [over turning it] is not impossible. It was nothing more than a bad night [in Leg 1]. I think we have what it takes to overturn the deficit. We were the best home team [during the regular season] and the best attacking team. We have to demonstrate that we still are."
Tigres UANL winger Jurgen Damm (via Esto): "We have to respect our opponent. We have to play a good game, keep possession of the ball. We have to fight. We want to give the fans a good performance so we can be crowned champions of Mexico."
