It was a case of so close and yet so far in the end for Andres Lillini and company after they fell short at the semi-final stage late last year.
With Erik Lira now having made the move to Cruz Azul, a reshuffle for the new year at the back is in order, though Alfredo Talavera will remain as their steadfast skipper.

It's been two months since Ignacio Ambriz's side last played, when they were stunned by their hosts in their only reclassification match, to end the hunt for silverware.
A spot of revenge may be in order and, with no shortage of firepower at their disposal, they might just get it too.
Predicted Toluca starting XI: Garcia; Lopez, Vanegas, Ortega, Diego; Sierra, Baeza, Acero, Castaneda; I. Gonzalez, Estrada.
