Monterrey's Roberto de la Rosa scored in the 48th minute, but it wasn't enough to secure their progression.
Monterrey dominated possession with 64.8%, compared to Toluca's 35.2%.

Both teams committed a similar number of fouls, with Toluca committing 12 to Monterrey's 9, and each team received three yellow cards.
The AI's pre-game prediction of a Toluca win proved accurate. The AI model didn't expect a balanced game, likely considering Toluca's home advantage. Before the game, Toluca had a 48.3% win probability, while Monterrey's win probability was at 26.4%. The draw probability was predicted at 25.3%.
Toluca's recent form has been strong, with three wins, one draw, and one loss in their previous five league games. Monterrey, prior to this match, had four wins and one loss. Toluca's ability to secure a victory despite the significant handicap of two red cards speaks volumes about their resilience and tactical adjustments.
