Toluca completely dominated Santos Laguna in the first leg of this quarter-final matchup, obtaining a 4-1 victory away from home. This season Toluca prevailed with a solid team effort not having any lone standout player. It was the same last Wednesday as Hernan Cristante counted with four different goal scorers in that first leg encounter. Rubens Sambueza and Enrique Triverio made a direct impact on the game in their first game back from suspension. Sambueza was vital in the midfield and provided an assist while Triverio scored one of the four goals for Toluca.

Santos Laguna played a horrendous game that has them almost guaranteed an early exit from the playoffs. The back line fell to pieces in the encounter and Jonathan Orozco could not stop anything from going into his net. Jose Manuel de la Torre did have two key absences in the game with Walter Gael Sandoval and Djaniny Tavares out due to suspensions. The pair will be back for this game and will need to come up big to get a favorable result in the game. Jose Manuel de la Torre did count with a very consistent offense in the regular season that scored 25 goals. Santos will need to win by at least four goals and the task at hand seems almost impossible.

Los Guerreros will surely risk everything in this game and will push forward to try and break through Toluca’s experienced back line. The game should be an exciting one even if Toluca is clearly the team that has its ticket to the semifinals.
