🎥 Faravelli blockbuster cements Cruz Azul's dominance in the CCC final
Mexican giants Cruz Azul have placed one hand on the Concacaf Champions Cup in Mexico City after jumping to a 4-0 lead. On a night where so much talk has surrounded the storyboard season from Jesper Sørensen and MLS Western Conference leaders Vancouver Whitecaps, La Máquina has sent a reminder of the quality that remains in Liga MX. Advertisement On the back of an impressive press under Vicente Sánchez, Cruz Azul has hit the Whitecaps with a pair of quick strikes, highlighted by a thunderous long-range hit from veteran midfielder Lorenzo Faravelli. After stripping Vancouver of possession in their third of the pitch, Faravelli unleased a hit that left Yohei Takaoka with no chance as the Japanese shot-stopper could only watch Faravelli's hit glance off the post and into the back of the net to make it two-nil on the night in the 28th minute. Earlier, club captain Ignacio Rivero raced ahead to give his side an early 1-0 lead in the eighth minute, with Cruz Azul once again winning possession high up the pitch before his pin-point finish.

With that, Vancouver will need a miracle if they are to turn this around at Estadio Olímpico Universitario. 📸 Hector Vivas - 2025 Getty Images
