Toluca’s Triumph in Liga MX Clausura 2025

The architect of Toluca’s success, Argentine head coach Antonio Mohamed, expressed his joy and satisfaction over the team’s Liga MX Clausura 2025 title while emphasizing his ambition to maintain the club’s competitive spirit for more victories.

“They were the three-time champions, they were our toughest rival because they were accustomed to such scenarios and we weren’t. Now, the challenge is for Toluca to get used to this,” Mohamed stated in a post-match press conference.

The Road to Victory

  • Toluca defeated América 2-0 at Nemesio Diez stadium, following a goalless draw in the first leg at Ciudad de los Deportes.
  • Luan Garcia and Alexis Vega scored the goals in front of a packed crowd of 27,273 spectators, mostly dressed in red.
  • This victory marked Toluca’s 11th Liga MX title in first division history, ending a 15-year drought since their Bicentenario 2010 triumph.

Mohamed credited the Diez family, Toluca’s management, Santiago San Román, Sinha, and all club members for the achievement. He mentioned that while América was a formidable opponent, the focus was on Toluca’s well-deserved success.
