Cruz Azul beats the Vancouver Whitecaps 5-0 for the CONCACAF Champions Cup title
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Ángel Sepúlveda scored twice and Cruz Azul routed the Vancouver Whitecaps 5-0 on Sunday to win its seventh CONCACAF Champions Cup. Sepúlveda finished with a tournament-best nine goals. Ignacio Rivero, Lorenzo Faravelli and Mateusz Bogusz also scored for Cruz Azul, which built a 4-0 lead by halftime. The Liga MX club tied crosstown rival Club America for most titles in the tournament. It was Cruz Azul's first title since 2013-14 when La Máquina beat Tijuana. The Whitecaps were looking to make history as the first Canadian team to win the tournament, and the first winner from Major League Soccer since the Seattle Sounders in 2022. Cruz Azul had four shots on goal in the first half and scored on all of them. La Máquina took advantage of a defensive lapse by the Whitecaps and Ignacio Rivero coolly finished with his left foot in the seventh minute in front of cheering home fans at Estadio Olímpico Universitario. Faravelli's goal came after a similar defensive lapse, struck from distance and went into the net after hitting the post. After Sepúlveda's sliding goal in the 37th, Bogusz added a goal in the 45th just before the teams went into the break. Sepúlveda added another goal on a header in the 50th. It was Cruz Azul goalkeeper Kevin Mier's fourth clean sheet of the tournament. The Whitecaps had no shots on goal during the match. Vancouver was without Sebastian Berhalter because of yellow card accumulation. He scored in both legs of the semifinal against Lionel Messi and Inter Miami. The Whitecaps had hoped that captain Ryan Gauld would return from a knee injury in time for the game but he was not available. Cruz Azul advanced with a two-legged victory over UANL Tigres.

Tigres eyeing a Cruz Azul player
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. The transfer market in Liga MX is already starting to move, and Tigres, after being eliminated from the Clausura 2025 Liguilla, is working on strengthening its squad. The team managed by Guido Pizarro is reportedly eyeing a Cruz Azul player whose contract is about to end. Although many reinforcements could come from South America, Erik Lira has caught their attention due to his good performance and favorable contract situation. Lira's contract with La Máquina ends in December, which would make negotiations with the felines easier. According to reports from Marca, there have already been initial talks with his camp, as Tigres looks to get ahead of other interested clubs. Tigres is looking to replace Rafael Carioca, who said goodbye to the club after eight years, and Lira would be the ideal candidate. 📸 CARL DE SOUZA - AFP or licensors
