Pumas finally got revenge for the 2005 Champions Cup final by defeating Saprissa 4-1 and booking their ticket to the Quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League. Pumas rescued a 2-2 tie in the 1st leg and struggled up until scoring the second goal and getting the win in the series. Pumas thus made up for losing that final, the last one a Mexican team failed to win in the CONCACAF competition and will now face the New England Revolution, who had a Round-of-16 bye after their rivals, Haitian side Cavaly, dropped out of the competition because they couldn’t get visas to enter the United States.
