Toluca
Querétaro pulled off a stunning upset against Toluca, winning 1-0 despite being thoroughly outplayed for most of the match. Toluca dominated possession with 76% and created 21 shots to Querétaro's 9, but their wastefulness in front of goal proved costly as they missed two big chances. Alí Ávila's 76th-minute strike against the run of play was the decisive moment, capitalizing on one of Querétaro's rare forays forward after committing a foul that led to a Toluca free kick. The result represents a significant boost for Querétaro's season while leaving Toluca to rue their inability to convert territorial dominance into goals, with their 90% pass accuracy and 62 dangerous attacks ultimately counting for nothing.
