Toluca rally at home to top San Diego FC in Champions Cup | OneFootball

TOLUCA, Mexico – The 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup continued with Deportivo Toluca FC earning a 4-nil victory over San Diego FC in the Second Leg of their Round of 16 series, winning 6-3 on aggregate, on Wednesday at Estadio Nemesio Díez in Toluca, Mexico. 

The reigning Liga MX champs got on the board in the 43’ when Nicolás Castro blasted a shot off the post that fell perfectly to Jesús Angulo for the rebound.

Toluca doubled its lead in the 56’ as Paulinho pulled off a remarkable backheel flick off a cross from Jesús Gallardo.

Angulo found the back of the net again three minutes after as he put away a shot from close range in the 59’.

Gallardo put the finishing touches on the match in the 90’+2’ when his shot in the box slightly deflected off a defender and past the goalkeeper.

Toluca advances to the Quarterfinals and will face the winner of the series between the LA Galaxy and Mount Pleasant FA.

• Toluca advanced from a Concacaf Champions Cup series after losing the first leg for the first time in club history (since the format change in 2008). Previously, they had been eliminated in that scenario against Monterrey in 2011 and Sporting Kansas City in 2019.
