Toluca defeat Tigres on penalties in Concacaf Champions Cup final | OneFootball

Backed by a lively home crowd, Deportivo Toluca topped Tigres UANL on penalties in an all-Mexican Concacaf Champions Cup final.

Scorers: Díaz 103' ; Henrique 113'

Penalties: 6 - 5

After a cagey, but uneventful first-half, both teams went into the break scoreless. The Liga MX sides had a even share of possession and two shots on target each, through 45 minutes.

In a cruel turn of fortune, Marcelo Flores was forced off through injury in the 78th minute – just a day after being named to Canada's World Cup squad.

Flores was replaced by Tigres legend André-Pierre Gignac, who forced a stunning reaction save from Luis García with his first touch of the match.

However, after another 45-minute stalemate, the match headed into extra-time.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Toluca's Jorge Díaz fired a low-driven shot across the face of goal and into the bottom-left corner to finally break the deadlock.

But remarkably, it wasn't over as Tigres' Joaquim Henrique equalised ten minutes later with an acrobatic, leaping header which forced a penalty shootout.

The penalties proved to be just as tight as the rest of the match, with Toluca coming away with a 6-5 win in the shootout.

It is the club's third Concacaf Champions Cup title and their first since 2003.

Meanwhile, it is the ultimate heartbreak for Tigres as they finish runner-up in a final that, well and truly, could have gone either way.
