Cruz Azul secured its seventh Concacaf Champions Cup title with a resounding 5-0 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps, taking advantage of the errors by their rivals. Ignacio Riviero scored the opener just eight minutes into the match. The victory marked a historic moment, matching Club America for the most titles in club history with seventeen Champions Cups.

Forward Angel Sepulveda clinched the Golden Boot with two goals in the final, bringing his tournament total to nine. In contrast, the Whitecaps struggled, failing to register a single shot throughout the match. The absence of Sebastian Berhalter due to suspension was detrimental and the team’s performance reflected the difficulty MLS encounters in such high-stakes competitions against Liga MX teams.

Facing the pressure, the Vancouver Whitecaps now need to regroup and focus on their regular season with a match against the Seattle Sounders on June 8.
