The return of Liga MX saw a goalless stalemate as Atlante and Toluca drew 0-0 in their Apertura 2026 encounter. The match, held at the Estadio Banorte, offered few clear-cut scoring opportunities for either side, marking a cautious start to the league's resumption after the Leagues Cup break.

Despite Toluca enjoying more possession, they struggled to break down Atlante's defense. Atlante had a significant chance to take the lead in the first half when Luis Calzadilla found himself alone in front of goal, but opted to pass instead of shooting. The goalkeepers on both sides were instrumental in keeping the score level, with Toluca's Luis García making crucial saves before being substituted due to injury.

The draw gives Atlante their second tie of the Apertura 2026 season as they return to the top division. Their next challenge is an away match against Tigres. Toluca, meanwhile, will face Querétaro before competing in the Leagues Cup quarterfinals against Austin FC.
