Toluca vs. América: Date, time, where to watch, and possible lineups for the second leg of the final.

André Jardine 's Club América is 90 minutes away from marking a new chapter in its history. After winning the Apertura 2023, Clausura 2024, and Apertura 2024 titles, the blue-cream team has the opportunity to become four-time Liga MX champions, a feat that could consolidate its dominance in Mexican soccer. To achieve this, they must overcome Toluca this Sunday at the Nemesio Diez Stadium , where the second leg of the Clausura 2025 Grand Final will be played.

The first leg, held at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes , ended in a goalless draw . Despite the heated exchanges on the pitch, neither team was able to break the tie, leaving everything open for the final match at La Bombonera in Toluca .

América , which was without Brian Rodríguez in the first match due to an injury that has kept him out throughout the Liguilla , could have the Uruguayan available for the second leg. The coaching staff will decide whether to include him in the final squad, after the winger completed part of training in recent days.

On Toluca 's side, Paulinho was the notable absentee. The Brazilian forward suffered an unexpected muscle injury and didn't even make the bench for the first leg, despite having participated in media activities beforehand. His availability for Sunday remains in doubt, which represents a key unknown in Antonio Mohamed 's approach.

For the Diablos Rojos , the Final represents the chance to end a 15-year Liga MX title drought. Toluca last won the championship in the 2010 Bicentenario , so the pressure will also be on for the Red Devils, who will have the support of their home fans.

The Nemesio Diez Stadium will host the match this Sunday, May 25, at 7:00 p.m. The broadcast will be provided by Las Estrellas, TUDN, and Azteca 7, while on digital platforms it will be available through ViX Premium and Azteca Deportes (web and app) .

América arrives as the favorite due to its recent history and the depth of its roster, but Toluca has shown solidity throughout the Liguilla and will look to take advantage of its home advantage to prevent the Águilas from winning another title.

POSSIBLE LINEUPS

Toluca: Luis Garcia; Jesus Gallardo, Federico Pereira, Luan Garcia, Bruno Mendez; Diego Barbosa, Marcel Ruiz, Jesus Angulo; Franco Romero, Alexis Vega, and Robert Morales.

America: Luis Malagon; Kevin Alvarez; Erick Sanchez; Jonathan Dos Santos; Alvaro Fidalgo; Alejandro Zendejas; Henry Martin; and Victor Davila.

With everything still to be decided and the aggregate score still goalless, the 2025 Clausura is preparing for its finale. América wants to continue making history; Toluca , to recover it.
