We are just hours away from knowing which team will be lifting the champion’s trophy of this Liga MX. We have Pachuca and Toluca playing in the final; being the teams that managed to crush the league’s favorites to reach this defining stage.
Pachuca’s scandalous 5-1 thrashing of Toluca in the first leg of the Apertura 2022 final in Liga MX not only shocked, for better and for worse, the fans of both teams, but also the rest of Mexican soccer; considering that the inequality shown on the field is not worthy of a playoff for the title of champion.
However, since the creation of the Liguilla in the 1970-71 season, at least 10 finals have ended with lopsided results.
Now, it seems that Pachuca has set the table for its seventh Liga MX title; and with it, the league’s most-winning team since the short tournaments began in 1996.
The Hidalgo Stadium will once again be the venue where the Mexican soccer champion will receive its crown. In less than six months, the Tuzos will once again compete for the Liga MX title, this time against the Diablos Rojos, with a considerable advantage and hoping that what happened against Atlas does not happen.

The second leg of the final of the 2022 Apertura Tournament of Liga MX will be played this Sunday, October 30, 2022, at the Miguel Hidalgo “Huracán” Stadium. Pachuca will be looking to strike the second blow in search of its seventh title and to confirm itself as one of the best teams of this century and in the history of shorts tournaments in Mexican soccer.
Pachuca arrives with a 4-goal advantage for this second leg at home, so it seems unlikely that Toluca will be able to prevent the Tuzos from lifting the championship trophy in this tournament, as they need to win by 5 goals or more to do so. It should be noted that it is no good for Toluca to tie the series 5-5, as Pachuca would have the advantage of having finished in the top 4 places in the table in the tie-breaker criteria.
Toluca reached this great final by leaving the favorite of all, Club América, on the road, but they did not expect such a powerful Pachuca with such a ruthless offense from the first leg of this great final. Toluca was not in control of the match at any time and failed, in addition to playing at home, to defend the Tuzos’ onslaught on many occasions.

However, we can’t take anything for granted, anything can happen and if Pachuca gets overconfident in this game, they could pay a heavy price in the end.
On the other hand, Pachuca will once again play the game that could give them the title of champions of Liga MX at home, as happened 6 months ago, but this time, they arrive with a very comfortable 4-goal lead, something that is very difficult to overcome.
Pachuca showed that their level of play is no coincidence in the series against Monterrey, where they also managed to impose themselves with spectacular class, leaving both their and Monterrey’s fans surprised.
That said, Pachuca inevitably ends up winning its seventh title in Liga MX short tournaments, which is why our pick for this match is a Pachuca victory, with a score of 3-1.
