Toluca came out firing at the Estadio Nemesio Diez and had Necaxa on the back foot from the start. The hosts built a 2-1 lead by half-time, but Necaxa refused to go away quietly and pulled one back to make it interesting going into the break. The second half saw Toluca reassert their dominance, however, and they added a third goal to seal a 3-1 victory and take all three points. It was a solid performance from the home side, who showed enough quality to see off a determined Necaxa side. The win keeps Toluca's push up the table on track, while Necaxa will be disappointed to have let this one slip away after making it competitive in the first forty-five minutes.
