Toluca secured a 3-1 victory over Dallas in the League Cup group stage at Estadio Nemesio Díez on 13 August 2026. The hosts took an early lead through a penalty before Dallas responded almost immediately through Petar Musa. Federico Vinas then struck twice in the closing moments of the first half to give Toluca control of the contest. Eric Gutierrez added a fourth goal in the 50th minute to put the result beyond doubt.
The opening exchanges were frantic, with A. Vega converting a penalty in the eighth minute before Musa fired back for Dallas within a minute. The visitors had momentum but couldn't maintain it. Vinas arrived in the 45th minute and struck again before the break to leave Dallas chasing the game. Toluca switched off at a set piece after the break, and that proved costly.
Coaching changes came early for Dallas, who brought on Musa, Ramiro and Johansson for three players in the 62nd minute. They tried to alter the shape of the game but couldn't find a way past Toluca's defence. Diaz Price arrived for Toluca at 66 minutes, followed by Valiente for the visitors at 71. The hosts kept their side in it with measured possession.
Toluca controlled the match with 72 per cent possession and recorded 111 attacks compared to Dallas's 62. They registered 11 shots on target while the visitors could only manage three. Toluca created two big chances and converted two of them, whereas Dallas also created two but failed to score. The visitors had more tackles but couldn't stop the flow of the game.
The result extends Toluca's recent form, coming after a 0-1 defeat to Los Angeles on 9 August. Dallas enter the next round with their group stage position still to be determined. The scoreline reflects a comfortable evening for the hosts, who have nothing to lose in this stage of the competition.
