This achievement adds to the team's already solid Liga MX campaign, where they hold a record of 4 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. With 12 goals scored and only 4 conceded, their +8 goal difference is among the best in the competition. Interestingly, both Toluca and Monterrey had already secured their spots in the upcoming Champions Cup through other means, which does not diminish the trophy won on American soil.
This international success reinforces the squad's good moment, coming off a 4-0 thrashing of FC Juárez on August 31.
