Liga MX News
The 2025 Apertura final featured the longest penalty shootout in Liga MX history. But the world record? Not even close.
Former Arsenal and Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey said Pumas terminated his one-year contract unexpectedly after just six injury-hampered matches with the Mexican side.
When discussing the hierarchy of Mexican soccer, the conversation always begins with the "big four" of Liga MX. Now, Toluca have made it a big five.
Toluca defeated UANL Tigres on penalty kicks 9-8 on Sunday night to win the Apertura tournament title and became the fifth team since 1996 to win back-to-back titles in the Mexican league.
Ángel Correa scored a second-half goal on Thursday, and the Tigres UANL defeated reigning champion Toluca 1-0 in the first leg of the Liga MX Apertura final.
