Correa’s summer transfer from Atletico Madrid has propelled Tigres, rejuvenating his career. After shifting from being a rotational player in Spain, Correa has scored 15 goals along with four assists across competitions since joining Tigres. His eight goals during the regular season have balanced out the injury woes of Andre-Pierre Gignac, positioning Tigres well for the season.
On the other hand, Toluca, having secured the top seed in the playoffs and with aspirations to defend their Clausura 2025 title, will not yield easily. They aim to replicate their past success against opponents like Club America. With a lineup that includes the dynamic Paulinho and under the leadership of manager Antonio Mohamed, Toluca presents a formidable challenge.
Both teams have shown resilience defensively, conceding 16 and 18 goals respectively throughout their league campaigns. Goals might not flow easily, but past finals have seen at least two goals scored; hence, it remains uncertain who will clinch the Apertura title.
