What did preseason and international tournaments show?
The current path was built on a foundation of preparation matches and continental competitions. In the Leagues Cup, the team had mixed performances with wins against Querétaro (2-1), Seattle (3-0), and North Carolina (3-1), but also losses to Austin FC (0-2) and LAFC (0-1). In the Concacaf Champions Cup, the campaign had its ups and downs. Toluca achieved a memorable comeback against UANL, advancing on penalties after a 1-1 aggregate, and thrashed LAFC in a second leg (4-0) to progress 5-2 on aggregate. However, there were also eliminations, such as the one against Pachuca with a 0-3 aggregate.
These experiences, as reported by ESPN, served to test different setups and fine-tune details. The penalty shootout victory over UANL in the Champions Cup was a turning point that injected character into the group.
What is the team's immediate schedule?
After the match against Juárez, the focus will be on maintaining consistency. The board and coaching staff are monitoring the squad's fitness, information that is always updated in our injuries section. The depth of the squad will be key to handling the upcoming fixture congestion.
The objective is clear: stay in the playoff positions and close the gap with América. Every point counts in such a competitive league, and the work done since preseason is paying off. The upcoming matches, which you can check on the fixtures page, will define if Toluca can sustain this pace and become a genuine championship contender.
