Toluca vs. Necaxa: Liga MX Champion's Title Defense Begins!
The Liga MX is back! Champion Toluca kicks off its title defense against Necaxa in what promises to be a thrilling Apertura tournament opener. After a nearly two-month break, Mexican football fans are eager to see if Toluca, led by Argentinian coach Antonio Mohamed, can repeat their Clausura tournament success.
Toluca's Title Defense
Toluca ended a five-year title drought by defeating Club America, preventing them from achieving a historic four-peat. Now, the Diablos Rojos have brought back key players to pursue a back-to-back championship, aiming to tie Chivas for the second-most titles in the country with 12.
However, the competition is fierce. Cruz Azul, despite a strong showing in recent tournaments, made a surprising coaching change, replacing Vicente Sánchez with Nicolás Larcamón. Larcamón's mission is clear: deliver Cruz Azul's first league title since the Clausura 2021.
