América showed a slight edge in the first half, but Toluca played smart, disrupting numerous attacking moves with timely fouls. This strategy unsettled the Águilas, leading to lapses in focus at key moments throughout the match.

Toluca, meanwhile, dropped deep into their own half, relying on a compact defense and waiting patiently for a counterattack to put the game out of reach.

Paulinho
sealed the victory in the 70th minute, scoring Toluca's third goal and putting the match out of América's reach. With the score at 3-1, any hopes of a comeback for the Águilas were effectively extinguished.
América were reduced to ten men in the 89th minute when
Igor Lichnovsky
was shown a red card for a reckless challenge that injured Helinho, further compounding their frustration in a match that had already slipped away.

The win not only delivered silverware but also sent a strong message ahead of the new season. With this victory, Toluca celebrated another milestone in club history, lifting the prestigious trophy and cementing their place among Mexico's top football powers.

Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli phenomenal in ODIs, should continue if they perform: Sourav Ganguly
Kolkata: Former India captain Sourav Ganguly feels that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli should continue playing ODIs as long as they are performing, given their "phenomenal" record in the fifty-overs format. Reacting to media reports suggesting that the upcoming ODI series in Australia could be the last for the celebrated duo, Ganguly said he was not aware of any such development.

Also Read: Is the end near for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as India eye 2027 ODI World Cup? Live Events "It's difficult to say. Whoever does well will play. If they do well, they should continue. Kohli's one-day record is phenomenal, even Rohit Sharma's. Both of them are phenomenal in white-ball cricket," he said during AWL Agri Business Ltd Event. According to reports, the tour of Australia in October could mark the final ODI appearances for the two Indian greats Kohli and Rohit, who have already played their last in T20Is and Tests. The duo have so far remained non-committal on whether they are targeting the 2027 World Cup. India's ODI tour of Australia begins on October 19, with matches scheduled in Perth, Adelaide and Sydney, followed by three home ODIs against South Africa in December. The 2026 calendar features ODI series against New Zealand, Afghanistan, England, the West Indies, and another contest against New Zealand. On the upcoming T20 Asia Cup in Dubai from September 9, Ganguly said the Indian team woulb be the favourties, coming off a much-needed break after the gruelling five Tests in England. "They are in the middle of a break. After the IPL, they played five Tests and now they will play the Asia Cup from September 9. "India are very strong, and if they are strong in red-ball cricket, they are even stronger in white-ball cricket. So, in my opinion, India are favourites, and beating them on those good Dubai wickets will be very tough." Asked about Shubman Gill's prospects as Test captain, Ganguly was in all praise for the young Indian Test skipper: "He's India's Test captain, and his future is full of promise," he said. Ganguly further said he's all set for a second inning in cricket administration and would file nomination. "If members wish, will file nomination (for CAB president's post)," added the former BCCI president, who was CAB president from mid-2015 to October 2019.

IPL buzz: Ashwin in talks with CSK about future amid speculation of possible move
Chennai: Senior Indian off-spinner R Ashwin is in discussions with the Chennai Super Kings about his future in the IPL franchise amid speculation that he might seek his release from the team. With over two months still left before the deadline for retentions, Ashwin, it is reliably learnt, has had conversations with the CSK brass about his role going forward.

The cut off date for retention is yet to be announced. So we have time," an IPL source told PTI. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo "It's a pre-auction plan to hold discussions with players and Ashwin, being a senior, is part of it. It is a mutual discussion to understand his role in the team ahead of next IPL season," he added. The 38-year-old Ashwin, who retired from international cricket last year, was bought for Rs 9.75 crore in the mega auction before the 2025 season. Live Events It was a homecoming of sorts for the Chennai-based player, who earlier turned up for CSK from 2009 to 2015. He later went on to play for the now-defunct Rising Pune Super Giant and the then Kings XI Punjab (currently Punjab Kings) in 2018. He played nine games in the season gone by, picking up just seven wickets in a largely disappointing season for the team as it finished bottom of the heap with four wins and 10 losses. There are speculations that CSK might rope in wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson , who wants to leave his current team -- Rajasthan Royals . "We have certain players in our mind to add to our line up next season. But so far, we have not had discussions with anyone, as I said there is a lot of time for player retention etc," the source said. PTI
