Toluca's 1-0 loss to the LAFC not only complicated the team's performance in the Leagues Cup, but also left a controversy led by their coach, Antonio Mohamed. After the match, the Argentine strategist walked towards the locker room when he was received with insults and objects thrown by a sector of the LAFC's fans.
What happened?
The situation unfolded after Mohamed responded to the fans with gestures and reminding them of the LAFC's elimination in the Concacaf Champions Cup last year.
Why it matters for Toluca?
The coach's behavior could have disciplinary consequences. The official Leagues Cup regulation contemplates penalties for members of the coaching staff who infringe the principles of sportsmanship and Fair Play.
What comes next?
Following the incident at the BMO Stadium, it is likely that the tournament organizers will initiate an investigation to determine if Mohamed's behavior warrants an official sanction. Meanwhile, Toluca remains waiting to know the outcome of a possible sanction for their coach as well as the results that will define their options to stay alive in the competition.
