Toluca had a dream start to their Liguilla thanks to a 4-1 victory over Santos Laguna at the Estadio Corona.
Gabriel Hauche, Enrique Triverio, Fernando Uribe, and Carlos Esquivel scored the goals to secure Toluca a win that leaves Santos Laguna needing to score four goals at the Estadio Nemesio Diez to have any chance of overturning the tie.
The Diablos Rojos needed just 14 minutes to open the scoring when he headed home a Rubens Sambueza cross.
Santos’ equalizer didn’t come until early in the second half as Jonathan Rodriguez used his speed to get the best out of his marker and Alfredo Talavera to score the 1-1.
