April 29 (Reuters) - Club America captured the CONCACAF Champions League title on Wednesday after Dario Benedetto's brilliant second-half hat-trick lifted the Mexican side to a 5-3 aggregate win over Montreal Impact.
Club America's 4-2 win in the second leg of the final at Montreal's Olympic Stadium also earned them a spot in the FIFA World Club Cup in Japan in December.
After drawing 1-1 in the first leg in Mexico, the Canadians looked well on their way to getting their hands on the trophy when midfielder Andres Romero slotted home in the eighth minute after taking a deft pass from Ignacio Piatti.
