Toluca vs. Tigres: Schedule, where to watch, and probable lineups for the match that will decide the Liga MX champion
Tigres UANL are one step away from being crowned champions in the Apertura 2025. Toluca is betting on a comeback to achieve a back-to-back championship
This Sunday, December 14, the Apertura 2025 champion will be decided. Toluca's Red Devils are down 0-1 in the series against Tigres UANL. The Nemesio Diez Stadium will be the stage where the Liga MX champion will be crowned.
Tigres UANL come into this decisive match with an advantage thanks to Angel Correa's goal in the first leg. The felines only need a draw to lift their eighth Liga MX title in their history.
Toluca already knows what it means to stage a comeback at their stadium. In the semifinals, after losing 1-0 to America in the first leg, the Red Devils defeated the Eagles 3-2 at their home stadium. This result put them in the final thanks to having finished higher than their rivals in the regular season. That aggregate score ended 3-3, but this time, if the aggregate score is tied, the two clubs will have to go to extra time. If the score remains tied, the winner will be decided by penalty kicks. The last extra time was needed to decide the champion was in the Clausura 2023 when Tigres beat Chivas 3-2 and won the title. Toluca has one statistic in its favor and one against it: the champion has been crowned at home in three of the last five Liga MX finals; Toluca was the last team to lose to Tigres in the Clausura 2025. However, Tigres arrive inspired after stringing together two consecutive victories against Antonio Mohamed's team (regular season and playoffs). Tigres UANL have only lost one of their last eight away matches. But their opponents have a good run at home: six wins and two draws. In five of those six victories, they won by two or more goals (a result that gives them the championship). Information from DataFactory.
