Toluca and Tigres starred in a final full of tension

The continental definition was marked by intensity and constant fight in the middle of the field, where both teams sought to impose conditions from the beginning.

At minute 114, Brazilian defender Joaquim appeared inside the area to hit a header and send the ball into the back of the net, establishing the final 1-1 and forcing the championship to be decided from the penalty spot.
