Pumas got past a tough Cruz Azul despite a terrible performance from referee Mario Escobar, getting a scoreless tie that books their ticket to the CONCACAF Champions League Final. Cruz Azul battled, but wasted some chances and failed to take advantage from Pumas going down to ten players in the second half. Pumas will now wait for the winner of the Seattle Sounders vs. NYCFC Semifinal to try to keep Mexico’s streak of winning CONCACAF club titles. Pumas does not want to go backwards, as they were the last Mexican team to lose one a CONCACAF club final when they lost against Saprissa in 2005.
