The Clausura 2025 Liga MX Final will pit two great protagonists against each other: Club América, which is seeking its fourth championship, and Toluca, which, under the direction of Antonio “Turco” Mohamed, wants to break a drought of more than a decade without titles. However, there is still a key question among fans: is the away goal a tie-breaker in the final?
The answer is clear and official: away goals do not apply in the Liga MX Clausura 2025 final. Unlike previous phases of the tournament, such as the Quarterfinals and Semifinals, where the position in the overall standings was used as a criterion to resolve ties, in the final only the total number of goals scored in the 180 minutes counts.
What happens if there is a tie on aggregate?
If after the two matches of the Liga MX final there is a tie on aggregate, the title will not be defined by the table or by away goals.
The game will automatically be played in overtime (two 15-minute halves).

If the tie persists, the champion will be defined in a penalty shootout.
This format seeks to win the championship on the field and not by administrative criteria.
This is established in the current Liga MX regulations, in an attempt to guarantee a more exciting and fair outcome.
