The League Cup 2024 did not go as planned for League MX teams; no Mexican teams will be in the semifinals, and for the second year in a row, the winner will come from Major League Soccer. A new champion will be crowned, as Inter Miami was eliminated by the Columbus Crew, the defending MLS Cup champions.

For a Liga MX team that was eliminated in the round of 16 by Colorado Rapids, the hotel bill increased significantly. According to a report by Esto in Mexico: Toluca Players caused damage to a hotel in Kansas City.

According to reports, a group of Toluca players and staff were involved in an incident involving the reckless handling of a vase. The vase, which was placed in front of the elevators, was dropped and shattered during an impromptu game reminiscent of “hot potato.” Despite the presence of a large carpet designed to prevent such accidents, the vase shattered upon impact.

Toluca players try to cover up hotel damage

To cover up the damage, a Toluca player stayed behind to clean up the rubble, dispose of the broken pieces, and shake out the carpet to cover up the evidence.

However, the incident was recorded by a hotel security camera, documenting both the act and the subsequent attempts to cover up the damage. This incident casts a bad light on Toluca and overshadows their performance in the tournament.

Toluca will return to Liga MX action on Sunday against San Luis. Before the League Cup break, Toluca was in sixth place.
