If the teams remained tied after 90 minutes of play during the 2nd leg, the away goals rule would be used, but not after a tie enters extra time, and so a tie would be decided by penalty shootout if the aggregate score is level after extra time.http://www.concacaf.com/staticFiles/e6/71/0,,12813~160230,00.pdf CONCACAF Champions League Regulations 2011/2012 CONCACAF.com 2012-04-28 https://web.archive.org/web/20120924101656/http://www.concacaf.com/staticFiles/e6/71/0,,12813~160230,00.pdf 2012-09-24 dead Final summary First leg 18 April 2012 21:00 UTC−05:00 Monterrey MEX 2–0 Report MEX Santos Laguna Suazo 60 86 Estadio Tecnológico, Monterrey 29,300 Francisco Chacón (Mexico) _monterrey1112h _whitetop 000040 FFFFFF 000040 000040 000040 Monterrey_slaguna1112h _slaguna1112h _slaguna1112h _white_stripes _slaguna1112h FFFFFF FFFFFF FFFFFF 006000 006000 Santos Laguna MONTERREY: GK 1 MEX Jonathan OrozcoRB 2 MEX Severo MezaCB 15ARG José María BasantaCB 21 MEX Hiram MierLB 5MEX Dárvin ChávezCM 8MEX Luis Ernesto Pérez (c)CM 17 MEX Jesús Zavala 58CM 10 MEX Ángel ReynaRF 7 CHI Humberto Suazo 4CF 9MEX Aldo de Nigris 88LF 18ARG Neri Cardozo 10 71Substitutes:FW 13MEX Darío Carreño 58MF 20 ECU Walter Ayoví 71DF 6MEX Héctor Morales 88Manager:MEX Víctor Manuel VucetichSANTOS LAGUNA: GK 1 MEX Oswaldo Sánchez (c)RB 23PAN Felipe Baloy 40CB 5 MEX Aarón GalindoCB 4MEX Jorge Iván Estrada LB 20 MEX Osmar Mares 73DM 8MEX Juan Pablo RodríguezCM 6ESP Marc Crosas 86CM 37MEX Cándido Ramírez 63FW 16USA Herculez GomezFW 3COL Carlos Quintero 83FW 13ECU Christian SuárezSubstitutes:DF 28MEX Carlos Adrián Morales 63MF 10ARG Daniel Ludueña 83MF 17 MEX Rodolfo Salinas 88 86Manager:MEX Benjamín Galindo Assistant referees: Marvin Torrentera (Mexico) Marcos Quintero (Mexico) Fourth official: Ricardo Arellano (Mexico) Second leg 25 April 2012 19:00 UTC−05:00 Santos Laguna MEX 2−1 Report MEX Monterrey Ludueña 45+3Peralta 51 Cardozo 82 Estadio Corona, Torreón 28,000 Roberto García (Mexico) _slaguna1112h _slaguna1112h _slaguna1112h _white_stripes FFFFFF FFFFFF FFFFFF 006000 FFFFFF Santos Laguna _monterrey1112h _whitetop 000040 FFFFFF 000040 FFFFFF 000040 Monterrey SANTOS LAGUNA: GK 1 MEX Oswaldo Sánchez (c)RB 19MEX Rafael FigueroaCB 5 MEX Aarón GalindoCB 4MEX Jorge Iván Estrada LB 14 MEX César IbáñezDM 8MEX Juan Pablo RodríguezCM 10ARG Daniel Ludueña 45+2 57CM 17MEX Rodolfo Salinas 84FW 24MEX Oribe PeraltaFW 3COL Carlos QuinteroFW 13ECU Christian Suárez 73Substitutes:MF 16 USA Herculez Gómez 57DF 28MEX Carlos Adrián Morales 73MF 10MEX Cándido Ramírez 84Manager:MEX Benjamín GalindoMONTERREY: GK 1 MEX Jonathan Orozco 7RB 2 MEX Severo MezaCB 15ARG José María BasantaCB 21 MEX Hiram MierLB 5MEX Dárvin ChávezCM 8MEX Luis Ernesto Pérez (c) 90+1CM 17 MEX Jesús Zavala 33CM 10 MEX Ángel Reyna 65RF 19 ARG César Delgado 84CF 9MEX Aldo de Nigris 5 87LF 18ARG Neri CardozoSubstitutes:MF 20 ECU Walter Ayoví 65FW 13MEX Darío Carreño 84DF 6MEX Héctor Morales 87Manager:MEX Víctor Manuel Vucetich Assistant referees: José Luis Camargo (Mexico) Alberto Morín (Mexico) Fourth official: Mauricio Morales (Mexico) References External links CONCACAF Champions League official website Finals Category:2011–12 in Mexican football Category:Santos Laguna matches Category:C.F.
