Tijuana wins Mexican Apertura title |


TOLUCA, Mexico (AP) -Tijuana won its first ever Mexican Apertura first division football title Sunday as Richard Ruiz and Duvier Riascos scored second half goals in a 2-0 win over Toluca.
Tijuana, which was only founded in 2007, claimed the two-legged final 4-1 on aggregate after a 2-1 home win last week.
Toluca was attempting to win its 11th league title to equal Guadalajara Chivas as the country's most successful club.
Ruiz opened the scoring with a tap in from close range in the 70th minute, after a free kick on the edge of the area rebounded off the post and into his path.
Riascos took a pass, rounded goalkeeper Alfredo Talavera and finished into an empty net two minutes later to leave Toluca needing three goals.
