Toluca Rout Chivas 3-0 as Vega Shines and Rangel Error Proves Costly

Alexis Vega's starring display sharpened focus on Raúl 'Tala' Rangel after the goalkeeper's error opened the scoring.

Overview

  • Paulinho struck the opener around 20 minutes after Rangel lost control on a one‑on‑one from Vega’s through ball, leaving an empty net.
  • Jesús Gallardo made it 2-0 before the break with a header from a Vega corner at the Estadio Akron.
  • A VAR review confirmed a straight red for Fernando “Oso” González at 50 minutes for a foul on Vega, who then finished Toluca’s third at 56 from a Nicolás Castro pass.
  • The win moved Toluca to a provisional third place on 19 points, while Guadalajara stayed on eight after a fifth defeat of the Apertura 2025.
  • Reaction focused on Rangel’s mistake, with fans and social media blaming the goalkeeper and questioning Chivas’ reliability in that position.
