Tijuana playing with house money but not to be discounted against Toluca

Tijuana have been the surprise club of the Liguilla.
Back in early April, whispers began to emerge about the fate of Tijuana manager Diego Cocca.
After a disappointing exit in the quarterfinal round of the CONCACAF Champions League, it was rumored that Xolos’ head coach would soon lose his job if he wasn’t able to lead Tijuana to a playoff spot.
