Toluca Triumph Shakes Up Liga MX Standings After Xolos Victory
Toluca imparted a significant shake-up in the Liga MX standings following their recent victory over Xolos. The match ended with a narrow 1-0 score, marking the end of a streak of consecutive draws for the team. This win came during a celebratory event at their home stadium, often referred to as the ‘Infierno,’ coinciding with the club’s anniversary.
Toluca Claims Crucial Victory
Paulinho scored the only goal of the match, although two additional goals from Toluca were disallowed. The team, known as ‘Diablos Rojos,’ deserved the victory despite not demonstrating their full potential seen in previous seasons. This win was critical for Toluca’s ranking, allowing them to climb to third place in the Clausura 2026 standings.
Standings Overview
- Toluca Position: 3rd place with 12 points
- Pumas Position: 2nd place with 12 points (better goal difference)
- Leader: Toluca is 3 points behind the current leader
- Xolos Position: 10th place with 7 points
Toluca’s coach, Mohamed, has managed to keep the team among the few unbeaten in the league. They join Pumas and Chivas, who will face América this week, leaving their undefeated streak uncertain. Meanwhile, Xolos’ recent loss has ended their unbeaten run, and they now find themselves with only one win from five matches this tournament.
The Impact of Injuries
Xolos have struggled significantly, partly due to Gilberto Mora’s absence from the lineup caused by a serious injury. This has affected their gameplay, contributing to a lackluster performance so far in the current season.
The Liga MX continues to unfold, and with Toluca’s recent triumph, the competition remains fierce as teams battle for better placement in the standings.
