If Cruz Azul suffered a crushing defeat to the Seattle Sounders in the League Cup, Nicolás Larcamón's team appears unbeatable in Liga MX. The cement-based team continues its perfect run in the 2025 Apertura tournament, after beating Atlético San Luis 2-1 yesterday at the Alfonso Lastras Stadium.

The cement-based team, which was recently eliminated from the Leagues Cup group stage after being thrashed 7-0 in its match against the Seattle Sounders, shook off the thorn and demonstrated the offensive prowess that has made it a title contender.

Argentine Rodolfo Rotondi opened the scoring in the 52nd minute after receiving a through ball and firing a powerful low shot past goalkeeper Andrés Sánchez. Minutes later, striker Ángel Sepulveda sealed the match with a perfect penalty (57).

Near the end, the Potosí team got on the scoreboard with a goal from Román Torres, who finished with a subtle shot past Colombian goalkeeper Kevin Mier.

In another match, Toluca, the reigning Mexican soccer champion, maintained its strong run by defeating the Bravos 2-0 at the Benito Juárez Olympic Stadium.

Antonio Mohamed's team took the lead in the 34th minute thanks to an acrobatic finish from Portuguese player Paulinho. In the second half, Juan Pablo Domínguez sealed the final score in the 48th minute with a precise header despite a defensive lapse.

Toluca's victory confirmed the team's strong form, which has advanced to the Leagues Cup quarterfinals in first place, while in the local tournament they sit in third place with nine points.
