Pachuca won the Challenger Cup after defeating Al Ahly in a Penalty Kick shootout by a 6-5 scorer after a 0-0 tie in regular time. Pachuca will now face Real Madrid in the Intercontinental champion, becoming the second Mexican team to play in a FIFA World Cup final and the first one to play in this new edition of the Intercontinental Cup.
The 1st half started with Pachuca coming out with the same starting 11 except without injured Sergio Barreto. Gustavo Cabral took his place. A cross in the area by Bryan Gonzalez, looked like it was handled by a defender but nothing was called.
