CNN —Goalkeeper Santiago Ramírez scored an absurd long-range goal to cap off a wild semifinal between his Atlético Morelia team and Celaya in Mexico’s Liga de Expansión. Trailing 2-1 in the second leg and 3-2 on aggregate, Celaya threw everything forward in a desperate attempt to find an equalizer in stoppage time. With Revuelta and the rest of his teammates attempting to run back to their unguarded goal, Ramírez let fly with a booming kick out of his hands that sent the ball into the opposition net, bouncing just twice in the penalty area on the way. Santiago Ramírez aprovechó que el arquero de los Toros fue a rematar y con este despeje anotó el 1-3 definitivo en el Miguel Alemán. It was a fitting end to a chaotic game that featured five red cards – two for Celaya and three for Morelia – and four goals.

☆ Shooting in gang-plagued Mexican state leaves 9 dead

MEXICO CITY, Nov 10 (Reuters) - A shooting left nine dead and two wounded at a bar in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato, which has increasingly suffered from cartel violence, local authorities said Thursday. Five men and four women were killed in the gunfire and two more women were hurt, the town said. The assailants had not yet been identified, officials said, adding that units of state and federal authorities as well as the National Guard would be moved into the area. Last month, 12 were killed at a bar in the city of Irapuato, following a nearby shooting that left 10 dead in September. Homicides have dropped slightly in 2022, though Lopez Obrador's term is on track to be the deadliest in modern history.
