Overview
- Alexis Vega returned from injury to bury the decisive penalty as Toluca clinched its 12th league title, tying Chivas, and gave coach Antonio Mohamed his fifth Liga MX crown.
- The second leg saw Tigres lead through a Gignac free kick deflected by Fernando Gorriarán before Helinho leveled and Paulinho put Toluca ahead on the night to force extra time and an extended shootout.
- Antonio Mohamed started Luis Manuel García over Hugo González in goal, and García produced the key save in penalties after a state security operation deployed 1,067 personnel at the Nemesio Díez for the final.
- Former referee Fernando ‘Cantante’ Guerrero argued two uncalled fouls on Marcel Ruiz and Jesús Angulo met the threshold for penalties; separately, video showed a Toluca fan striking Gignac with a flag as he reached the bench.
- A federal judge ordered preventive detention for Édgar ‘El Limones’ Rodríguez and five alleged Los Cabrera members at El Altiplano following their arrests and a seizure of long guns and a grenade, while police in Argentina reported quick arrests after multiple robberies and authorities in Mexico responded to a serious pedestrian hit‑and‑run in Morelia and a fatal shooting in Pérez.
