jenni_blogMonterrey won the Interliga tournament, and Estudiantes Tecos came second, to take the last two of five Mexican spots in the 2010 Copa Libertadores.
Below the cut is a link to an article on the tournament, the teams to play in the Copa Lib, and a picspam from the final games.

And this is a reprint of some of it, the part about the Mexican teams in the Copa Lib and what other teams they'll be playing:
"Monterrey and Tecos are among five Mexican teams in the Libertadores. Morelia qualified straight from the fall Apertura, and Chivas de Guadalajara and San Luis received invitations into the final 16 after they problems related to the H1N1 epidemic led to their withdrawal from last year's competition heading into knockout stages.
Morelia will open Libertadores play Feb. 10 at Argentine club Banfield. Its other Group 6 opponents are Nacional (Uruguay) and Deportivo Cuenca (Ecuador).
Tecos, as the "Mexico 3" entrant, will face Juan Aurich in a preliminary-round playoff, Jan. 27 in Peru and Feb. 3 at home. A victory would put the Owls in Group 3, against defending champion Estudiantes de La Plata (Argentina) and two lesser sides, Bolivar (Bolivia) and Alianza Lima (Peru). The opener would be Feb. 11 at Estudiantes."
