Toluca Wins 11th Mexican Title Ending 15-Year Drought

Deportivo Toluca ended a 15-year title drought by defeating Club América 2-0 to win the Clausura 2025 championship, securing their 11th professional-era title and moving just one behind Chivas, which has 12 titles. Goals from Luan Garcia and Alexis Vega sealed the victory in the second leg after the first leg ended in a rare 0-0 draw, breaking a 20-year streak of goal-filled matches between these rivals. Toluca's coach Antonio Mohamed, now a four-time Mexican league champion with different clubs, celebrated the win, which also prevented América from achieving a historic fourth consecutive title. América, who holds 16 championships, remains the all-time leader but now faces the challenge of competing in the Club World Cup qualifier against LAFC shortly after the final. Meanwhile, Chivas, the second-most decorated club, watched from the sidelines as the rivalry intensified, with Toluca closing the gap in the championship race and featuring several former Chivas players. The outcome has reignited enthusiasm around Toluca's potential to challenge the traditional giants of Mexican soccer.
