Cruz Azul Dominates Vancouver Whitecaps for Seventh Concacaf Champions Cup Triumph
June 2, 2025
Cruz Azul delivered a masterclass in football, trouncing the Vancouver Whitecaps 5-0 to clinch their seventh Concacaf Champions Cup. This victory ties them with Club América for the most titles in the competition's history.
In a thrilling finale to the Concacaf Champions Cup, Cruz Azul displayed sheer dominance over the Vancouver Whitecaps, sealing a resounding 5-0 victory at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario. The Liga MX side's first-half onslaught, featuring goals from Ignacio Rivero, Lorenzo Faravelli, Ángel Sepúlveda, and Mateusz Bogusz, effectively extinguished any hopes for the Whitecaps, who were missing their key player Sebastian Berhalter. Sepúlveda, who added another goal to his tally after the break, clinched the Golden Boot for the season, contributing a total of nine goals. Despite the Whitecaps' commendable performance throughout the tournament, their aspirations for a maiden Champions Cup win were dashed. This victory marks Cruz Azul's seventh title, tying them with Club América for the most wins in the tournament's history. Their success is a testament to their consistent performance and the strategic acumen of their manager, Vicente Sánchez.
