Aug 7th features a match where Toluca hosts Tijuana at Estadio Nemesio Díez in a meeting of these two closely matched Liga MX teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, 2nd placed Toluca, recorded a 1-1 draw against Puebla. Omar Fernández scored the first goal for Puebla in the 17th minute, but Andres Mosquera got the equalizer for Toluca in the 83rd minute earning Toluca a comeback draw. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Toluca should be reasonably happy with their performance, while 5th placed Tijuana is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against Mazatlán. Carlos Vargas struck first for Tijuana on an own goal in the 55th minute, then Victor Andres Guzman Olmedo added another in the 73rd minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Mazatlán couldn’t manage to score, and Tijuana took the shutout win. Tijuana is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches.
On Mar 11th, Toluca hosted Tijuana at the Estadio Nemesio Díez in their last match together. Tijuana was victorious by a score of 4 to 3 in front of almost 26000 dissapointed fans. Javier Guemez struck first for Toluca in the 6th minute, then Leandro Gonzalez Pirez tied it up for Tijuana in the 29th minute Finally they completed the comback in the 71st minute on a goal by Miguel Barbieri to cap off a wild match.
Tijuana hasn’t been successful in netting any goals lately. Their top scorers in the last 5 matches are Joaquin Alberto Montecinos Naranjo and Lisandro López, and they each have 1 goal. Jordan Sierra and Leonardo Fernández are the top scorers for Toluca in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
