MLS team guaranteed to host second leg of Concacaf Champions League final

No matter who advances from tonight’s all-MLS Concacaf Champions League semifinal, they will host the second leg of the final in early May. Pumas UNAM clinched their spot in the final thanks to a 0-0 draw against Cruz Azul on Tuesday after winning the first leg 2-1 last week. It was a historic result for Pumas, who have never played in a CCL final, but they did lose starting centerback Arturo Ortiz to a red card, which means he’ll miss the first leg of the final.

As it was for the semifinals, the order of the two finals legs are determined by points gained in previous rounds.
