Cruz Azul vs Toluca for the Champion of Champions

Duel of the undefeated in Aguascalientes

Rayos del Necaxa and Rayados de Monterrey face each other this Sunday, July 26, on date 2 of Apertura 2026. Both teams started the tournament with victory and will seek to maintain the perfect pace.

The hydrocalids want to take advantage of the locality. On matchday 1 they beat Atlante 2-1 in the Clásico del Pueblo. However, their performance at home was one of the weak points last tournament: they barely won three games at Victoria.

For its part, Monterrey debuted with a 3-2 win over Santos Laguna under the direction of Matías Almeida. Outside of the Steel Giant, the Monterrey team only won two games in the previous campaign, with four losses and two draws.

The recent history favors the visit. In Clausura 2026, also on date 2 and in Aguascalientes, the Rayados won 2-0.
