Toluca left Estadio La Corregidora with all three points on Saturday, 22 August 2026, edging out Querétaro 1-2 in a Liga MX clash that took a while to catch fire. The first half was cagey, both sides cancelling each other out and going in level at 0-0, with the game split evenly down the middle in terms of territory and neither keeper troubled much early on. Chances came in bunches after the break, and the visitors made theirs count when it mattered. Helinho was the difference, picking up the Man of the Match award with an 8.3 rating after a lively second-half display that tipped the balance Toluca's way. Querétaro pushed hard for an equalizer and matched their opponents shot for shot across the ninety minutes, 18 apiece, but couldn't find a second goal to level things up. For Toluca, it's a gritty road win to build on. Querétaro will be frustrated to come away empty-handed after matching their opponents in so many areas of the game.
The Matchup
Querétaro 1-2 Toluca was the final score at Estadio La Corregidora, in a game where Toluca did enough across the ninety minutes to deserve the three points.

The shot count told a similar story, with 18 attempts from Querétaro against 18 from Toluca over the course of the game. It was not always comfortable for Toluca, and Querétaro pushed for a way back into the game, but the result stood.
