Pachuca Edge Past Toluca in Liguilla Opener

In the second half, Toluca's coach made changes in search of an equalizer, but Pachuca remained organized and dangerous on counterattacks. Toluca had a goal ruled out for handball, and the series will be decided next Sunday at Estadio Hidalgo, where Pachuca holds the advantage and table-position tiebreaker.
