América defeated UANL 4–1 on aggregate to win their second consecutive and seventh overall CONCACAF club title.
Background
For the sixth time in eight seasons of the CONCACAF Champions League, the final was played between two Mexican sides. This guaranteed a Mexican champion for the eleventh straight year and 32nd time since the confederation began staging the tournament in 1962 (including the tournament's predecessor, the CONCACAF Champions' Cup).
This was the first CONCACAF club final for UANL, although they had played in a continental club final before, where as a guest team they lost in last year's Copa Libertadores final to River Plate.
The final was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the higher-seeded team hosting the second leg. The away goals rule would be used if the aggregate score was level after normal time of the second leg, but not after extra time, and so the final would be decided by penalty shoot-out if the aggregate score was level after extra time of the second leg.
In the 32nd minute, Tigres had a great chance to open the scoring, but Javier Aquino sent a one on one chance flying over the crossbar. In the 49th minute, Darío Benedetto opened the scoring with a header from close range following a lobbed pass from Osvaldo Martínez. Seven minutes later, Andrés Andrade finished into an empty net from about 40 yards out, but the goal was disallowed for offside. This was a controversial decision because the goalkeeper had rushed out to the halfway line, and replays showed Andrade was inches behind the ball and the goalkeeper when he received it. In the 92nd minute, Oswaldo Martinez scored from long range into the bottom left corner after a counter attack.
The second leg was played at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on 27 April.
In the 38th minute, André-Pierre Gignac scored the first goal of the game with a close range finish into the bottom left corner. In the 67th minute, Michael Arroyo scored from long range into the bottom right, to level the scores, just one minute after being subbed on. In the 87th minute, Oswaldo Martinez drilled a penalty, into the top left corner, after Hugo Ayala fouled Miguel Samudio in the box.
