The Matchup
Toluca beat Puebla 0-1 at Estadio Cuauhtémoc, and the numbers from the match back up how the game played out. Even without the extra share of possession, which finished 44% in favour of Puebla, Toluca made the most of the chances that mattered and did enough to see the game out. The shot count told a similar story, with 13 attempts from Puebla against 11 from Toluca over the course of the game. Puebla had their moments and did not make it easy from start to finish, but ultimately came up short on the day. Small margins like this one tend to add up over a season, and results such as this are often what separates teams in the table further down the line. Here is a closer look at exactly how the two sides compared, statistically.
