The wait in Hell is finally over. Toluca was crowned champion of the Clausura 2025 Liga MX Tournament after defeating América 2-0 at the Nemesio Díez Stadium. With goals from Luan García and Alexis Vega, the Red Devils lifted their first title since 2010 and put an end to a drought that was already weighing too heavily.

On Sunday, May 25, the Scarlets were determined to write a new page in their history. They faced none other than America, three-time defending champions and with their sights set on an unprecedented tetra-championship. However, the inferno proved too much for the Águilas.

A goal to ignite the Infierno

The first big roar of the match came in the 65th minute, when Luan García got up in the box after a corner kick and put in an impeccable header that shook the net and unleashed madness in the stadium.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, GOAL, LUAAAN GARCÍA SACUDEES THE NETS AND EXPLODES HELL!!!” shouted the commentators. Toluca took the lead at a key moment.

Fifteen minutes from the end, Cáceres brought down a Scarlets attacker in the area. It was a clear penalty.

Alexis Vega, with cold blood, shot with power and precision to make it 2-0 in the 80th minute.

It was the definitive blow. America, with no reaction, saw the title slip through their hands.

The Nemesio Diez stadium became a real party.

After 15 years without lifting a championship, Toluca’s fans celebrated again in a big way.

The team coached by Renato Paiva not only defeated the big favorite, but did so with authority, tactical intelligence and total commitment.

America’s dream is over

For América, it was a bitter night.

They arrived as three-time champions, with a solid squad and experience in finals, but the dream of a four-time championship -something never before seen in Liga MXshort tournaments-crumbled.

Although they tried to react after the first goal, they left spaces at the back and ended up paying dearly.

Toluca, the new king of Mexican soccer

With this result, Toluca became champions of the Clausura 2025, thus adding their eleventh league title in history and reaffirming their place among the greats of Mexican soccer.

Since the 2010 Bicentennial title, the Scarlets had been close, but had not succeeded. Today, the inferno burned again… and it burned to make history.
