Toluca claimed a convincing 2-0 win away at CD Guadalajara, despite playing the final 40 minutes with ten men after Ángel Sepúlveda's sending-off. The visitors were the better side throughout, controlling possession and carving out the clearer opportunities.
Alexis Vega broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute, finishing calmly to make it 0-1 just before half-time. The game turned when Sepúlveda received a straight red card in the 50th minute, but Toluca responded superbly: Jesús Gallardo doubled the lead in the 74th minute, assisted by Helinho, to seal the points.
Toluca dominated the numbers: they had 60% possession, 10 shots on target to Guadalajara's 4, and created five big chances, scoring from two. Guadalajara goalkeeper made eight saves to keep the score respectable, but the hosts could not find a way back into the match.
