On the Saturday matchday of Liga MX, one of the most interesting matchups will be between Toluca and Cruz Azul at the Estadio Nemesio Diez. Both teams, considered title contenders, will face off in an exciting clash that could define the leader of the competition and the winner of a one million dollar economic compensation from Liga MX.
The Cruz Azul team, after a complicated start in the Clausura 2025 that included an international scandal and poor results, is currently seeking to secure the runner-up position in the table with their five-match unbeaten streak under the interim management of Vicente Sánchez. With 74 points, Cruz Azul leads the table closely followed by Toluca with 71 points, placing them in the second position.
On the other hand, Toluca has managed to stay at the top of the standings discreetly, accumulating 36 points thanks to their unbeaten run in the last five matches. Any stumble could make teams like América, Necaxa, or Tigres displace them in the overall classification.
In their upcoming matchup, both Cruz Azul and Toluca will be looking not only for victory on the field but also for the lead in an annual performance table that could grant them the hefty economic compensation. This duel promises to be exciting and decisive for both teams' aspirations in Liga MX.
