MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Santos Laguna took their sixth Mexican league title on Sunday when a 1-1 draw at Toluca was enough to give them a 3-2 aggregate win after a tense two-legged Clausura final.

Argentine Julio Cesar Furch put Santos ahead after nine minutes but his countryman Gabriel Hauche brought things level for the home side in the 82nd minute.
