Cruz Azul,\u00a0with a spectacular comeback in the regular season, managed to take second place in the standings after defeating Toluca in this away match by a score of 1-0.
The table was set\u00a0for Toluca to play at their best at home and finish at the top of the table level with Am\u00e9rica. However, they did not have a very intense Cruz Azul with an organized defense.
The match was back and forth from the opening whistle. However, in a defensive lapse by Toluca, Cruz Azul could take advantage of the spaces to score the only goal of the match in the 18th minute through Willer Ditta.
From that moment on, the match belonged to both defenses, as they prevented every approach from the rival forwards.\u00a0With this result,\u00a0Cruz Azul finishes second, while Toluca is third in the standings.
