Toluca crush LAFC to reach all‑Mexican final

Deportivo Toluca stormed into the CONCACAF Champions Cup final after dismantling Los Angeles FC 4-0 in the second leg, completing a 5-2 aggregate triumph and securing the first all‑Mexican final in five years against Tigres. Helinho opened the scoring from the penalty spot before Everardo Lopez unleashed a spectacular long‑range strike, setting the tone for a dominant night.

LAFC’s hopes collapsed when Ryan Porteous was sent off late, leaving the visitors exposed as Toluca ruthlessly capitalised. Paulinho tapped in at the far post to make it three, then hammered home a fourth deep into stoppage time to seal the comeback after trailing 2-1 from the first leg.

LAFC had squandered a golden early chance when Denis Bouanga and Timothy Tillman failed to convert a double opportunity that would have extended their aggregate lead. Toluca, who also struck the woodwork four times, took full control thereafter. The final is scheduled for May 30.
