Cruz Azul Wins Record-Tying Seventh CONCACAF Champions Cup with 5-0 Victory over Vancouver

News summary

Cruz Azul secured their seventh CONCACAF Champions Cup title with a dominant 5-0 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps in the final held at Mexico City's Estadio Olímpico Universitario. The Mexican club took an early lead through Ignacio Rivero and extended it with goals from Lorenzo Faravelli, Ángel Sepúlveda, and Mateusz Bogusz, with Sepúlveda finishing as the tournament's top scorer with nine goals. The Whitecaps, missing key players Sebastian Berhalter due to suspension and injured captain Ryan Gauld, failed to register a single shot on goal in the match. Cruz Azul's victory ties them with Club America for the most titles in the competition's history, further demonstrating Liga MX's dominance over MLS in recent finals. Despite Vancouver's strong run to the final, including draws in Monterrey and away against Pumas, their lack of composure and offensive execution in this match underscored the challenge MLS teams face in overcoming Liga MX sides in this tournament. Cruz Azul's clinical finishing and defensive solidity, including a fourth clean sheet by goalkeeper Kevin Mier, cemented their comprehensive win and historic achievement.
