It was the team’s second title in the history of the state tournament. In the women’s division, Arandas took first place with a 7-6 win in penalty kicks against Tomatlán.
Jalisco Governor Pablo Lemus, state and municipal officials, and thousands of fans attended the final, held Sept. 28 at the iconic Estadio Jalisco (Jalisco Stadium) in Guadalajara.
