Club America triumphed over Columbus Crew in a penalty shootout to win the Campeones Cup after a 1-1 draw in regulation. The decisive moment came when Luis Malagon's controversial movement off the goal line led to Malte Amundsen's missed penalty, but no retake was awarded by the officials. Néstor Araujo scored the winning penalty for Club America, who had earlier taken the lead through Victor Dávila before Amundsen equalized. This marks Club America's first Campeones Cup victory, adding to their back-to-back Liga MX titles. The Campeones Cup pits the champions of MLS and Liga MX and has been held annually since 2018, with MLS teams winning three out of the previous five editions.
