Toluca Women saw off Necaxa Women 4-0 in the Liga MX regular season on 29 September. The visitors took control from the first whistle and never let go, building on a performance that extended their run of results while Necaxa's winless streak stretched to eight games straight.
E. Le Sommer opened the scoring in the seventh minute and went on to dominate proceedings. She added a second just after the interval in the 50th minute, then buried another in the 67th before completing her tally in the 84th. By then she had ended a barren spell and handed the match its final shape. Three yellow cards came from the hosts as the pressure mounted.
Substitutions peppered the second half as both sides tried to find a response. B. Johnson came on in the 36th minute for the away side, while Necaxa shuffled their pack with J. Perez, A. Terzian Jensen, D. Ponce, B. Cuevas and M. Pavi all entering the fray. S. Gonzalez Diaz Barreiro and S. Jakobsson were paired together in the 80th minute, and T. Lizeth Quiroz Tinoco rounded things off late on.
The statistics told the same story as the scoreline. Toluca held 78 percent possession and launched 73 attacks compared to Necaxa's 38. Their shots on target reached 10 with a 37 percent accuracy rate, while the hosts managed just two attempts on goal from 25 percent accuracy. Eight corners to one and 73 attacks versus 38 — the gap was never closing.
And here's the thing, we had called for this outcome with 67 percent confidence before kick-off. The prediction came through because Toluca's eight-game record of five wins, one draw and two defeats showed a side finding its rhythm, whereas Necaxa had lost every match they'd played so far this season.
The result leaves Necaxa rooted at 18th place with zero points from eight games, while Toluca sit seventh on 16 points. The visitors pulled away from the bottom without too much trouble, and the hosts carried the weight of their recent form — a run that included a 10-0 defeat to Monterrey and a 7-0 loss to America — all the way into this fixture.
