Cruz Azul entered the match as favorites and left no questions in their 5–0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps to secure their seventh Concacaf Champions Cup title and first since 2014.
Nearly 1,000 Whitecaps fans made the trip to the Estadio Universitario Olímpico in Mexico City for their club’s first Concacaf Champions Cup Final. Yet, their hopes waned before the halftime whistle, with the home side going up 3–0 by the 37th minute, adding a fourth before the break.
