Overview
- Toluca beat Monterrey 2-0 in the Leagues Cup final on Monday, with Alexis Vega opening the scoring early and Helinho sealing the win in the 70th minute.
- The victory is Toluca’s sixth trophy under coach Antonio Mohamed and his 11th official title in Mexican football.
- Multiple reports say Mohamed has overtaken Ignacio Trelles as Toluca’s most decorated coach but that historical comparison is reported with limited sourcing.
- Mohamed publicly rejected exit speculation and said he will stay at Toluca while setting immediate targets that include the Apertura 2026 and the Intercontinental Cup.
- Monterrey coach Matías Almeyda lamented missed chances after the final, and the result highlights the Leagues Cup’s renewed competitive balance between Liga MX and MLS since the 2023 format change.
