Toluca Rout LAFC to Join Tigres in All‑Mexican CONCACAF Champions Cup Final

The May 30 one‑match decider continues Liga MX’s grip on the region.

Overview

  • Toluca, which overturned a 2-1 first-leg deficit Wednesday in Toluca, won 4-0 on the night to take the semifinal 5-2 on aggregate.
  • Helinho buried a 49th-minute penalty, Everardo López struck in the 58th, and Paulinho scored twice in stoppage time after LAFC’s Ryan Porteous saw red.
  • Tigres advanced Tuesday with a 1-0 home win over Nashville for a 2-0 aggregate, sealed by Juan Brunetta after Ángel Correa’s first-leg goal set the edge.
  • The final is a single match on May 30 between Toluca and Tigres, which guarantees a Mexican champion for a fourth straight year.
  • Mexican clubs have dominated the competition with only Seattle in 2022 breaking the run since 2000, and this is the first all‑Mexican final since 2021.
