Toluca aims for sixth title under Mohamed
Toluca is on the verge of making history. This weekend, the team from the State of Mexico will face Cruz Azul in the Campeón de Campeones, seeking their sixth title under the leadership of Antonio 'Turco' Mohamed. With the 2026-27 season just beginning (6th place, 3 points, 1W-0D-1L), the team arrives with confidence after scoring 3 goals and conceding 2 in their first two matches.
Can Mohamed surpass Trelles?
If Toluca beats Cruz Azul, Mohamed will tie the record of Ignacio 'Nacho' Trelles as the most successful coach in the club's history. With five titles already under his belt, the Argentine aims to establish himself as a legend in the Red Hell. His rival, Joel Huiqui, arrives with the momentum of having won the Clausura 2026 with La Máquina, but Toluca has the advantage of having defeated América in the previous edition of the Campeón de Campeones.
What's at stake?
The match will not only determine the champion of champions but could also mark a milestone in Mohamed's career. With 10 Liga MX titles, the Argentine seeks to add another achievement to his impressive resume. The duel will take place at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Los Angeles, where Toluca will look to prevail against a rival that currently leads the table with 3 points more than them.
What's next for Toluca?
Regardless of the result, Toluca will have little time to rest. Their next match will be on August 6 against the Seattle Sounders at home, where they will aim to maintain their strong start to the season. With a goal difference of +1, the team from the State of Mexico has everything to continue dreaming big in the Mohamed era.
