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.
"This team deserves it. We've never complained about the traveling or anything,'' Tijuana-born midfielder Fernando Arce said. "We're champions, we're at the top and we'll enjoy it.''
Tijuana often traveled vast distances to play its away matches, including more than 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles) to Toluca.
Prior to Tijuana's breakthrough, the game was a scrappy affair with few genuine opportunities, as Toluca showed little of the flair that saw it finish top of the regular season table.
United States international Edgar Castillo came close for Tijuana in the 49th when he rifled a left footed strike toward the top left corner of the net, before Talavera tipped it over.
