- Round One: 4-2 aggregate vs Pumas UNAM (Mexico)
After a historic expansion season, San Diego FC are off to a flying start in their second year in MLS. Mikey Varas' side have won each of their first three MLS matches while posting a league-best +8 goal differential.
They've managed that while also starting their first-ever CCC campaign with an impressive Round One result, eliminating LIGA MX's Pumas UNAM 4-2 on aggregate after a dominant Leg 1 showing at Snapdragon Stadium.
Anders Dreyer is off to another hot start after emerging as a Landon Donovan MLS MVP candidate in 2025. The Danish No. 10 already has six goal contributions across all competitions (2g/4a).
- Round One: Bye
Toluca, the two-time defending LIGA MX champions, sit second in the 2026 Clausura as they chase a historic three-peat under head coach Antonio Mohamed.
This season, los Diablos Rojos have been led by prolific striker Paulinho, a three-time LIGA MX Golden Boot winner who's second in the current goal-scoring standings with six tallies.
Perhaps most importantly, Toluca were boosted by the return of captain Alexis Vega. The 28-year-old Mexican international, who underwent knee surgery in January, made his season debut by coming off the bench late in Sunday's 3-1 win over FC Juárez.
