Toluca and America Battle for Top Spot in Liga MX

Mexico City, Mexico — The final weekend of the Liga MX Apertura 2025 season promises an exciting showdown when Toluca faces America on Saturday, November 8. Both teams are tied at 34 points, vying for the top spot in the league.

The match will take place at the Estadio Nemesio Diez, and the outcome will determine the leader of the tournament. Toluca and America, the reigning champion and runner-up, are not only head-to-head for supremacy but also need help from other matches to keep their title aspirations alive.

In the overall standings of both the Apertura and Clausura 2025 tournaments, Toluca leads with 71 points. However, a loss to America, which has 68 points, would allow America to tie on points if they win. The potential for a three-way tie also looms if Cruz Azul, currently also at 68 points, defeats Pumas.

Toluca’s Antonio Mohamed is looking to solidify his position as the best coach of the year, banking on the success he has had during the season, which includes accumulating points that could give him the edge over other coaches like America’s André Jardine.

The stakes are high for both teams, knowing that a win or even a draw can take them to the top, while a failure to perform could see them slip to fourth place, ensuring home advantage in the playoffs.

In other matches, Querétaro earned an impressive 2-1 victory over Bravos de Juárez, breathing new life into their chances for the Play-In. Meanwhile, Club Tijuana dominated Atlas with a solid 2-0 win, confirming their place in the upcoming playoff rounds.

All eyes will be on the key encounter of Toluca and America, both fighting to finish the season on a high note and secure their positions for the playoffs.
