Toluca made the trip to Estadio Akron on Sunday, 19 July 2026 and left with a comfortable 0-2 win over Chivas Guadalajara. Chivas actually had the better of the set pieces, winning nine corners to just two, but it was Toluca who did the damage where it mattered. They went ahead before the break and never looked like giving it up, finishing with nine shots on target compared to four for the home side despite having less of the ball territorially in terms of raw attempts. Federico Pereira was the standout performer, picking up a well-earned 8.5 rating for his role in pulling the strings for the visitors. Chivas huffed and puffed, especially in the second half, but couldn't find a way through a well-organised Toluca defence. For the home fans it's another frustrating night at Akron, while Toluca will head back to the capital knowing this was a job done efficiently, with the scoreline flattering neither side's overall effort but reflecting who took their chances.
