The Mexicans were not satisfied with the advantage gained in Leon and went for it, even playing in the opponent’s home. The goal that sealed the title was scored by Lucas Di Yorio, who took advantage of the opportunity inside the area and scored in the 20th minute of the first half.
In addition to celebrating the unprecedented achievement in Los Angeles, León secured a spot in the next Club World Cup, which will take place at the end of the year. In addition to the Concacaf champion, the teams already qualified for the competition are Urawa Red Diamonds (Asia champion), Auckland City (Oceanian champion) and Al-Ittihad (champion in Saudi Arabia, the host country).
The Guanajuato team is also confirmed for the dispute of the new format of the World Cup, which will have its first edition in 2025. León, Seattle Sounders and Monterrey are the Concacaf clubs that competed in the tournament, since they were the last winners of the Concachampions.
