After an intense group stage and knocking out Independiente Medellín and the Antioquia State Team in the direct elimination rounds, the Rebaño reached the Grand Final, where Hendrick Castañeda appeared shortly before halftime to score the title-winning goal with a left-footed cross-shot that found the back of the net and allowed the Rebaño to manage the match intelligently.

Guadalajara U-17 capped off a GREAT semester in golden fashion, as in addition to lifting this international title, they also had an outstanding Clausura 2026, finishing as the overall leader of the competition with 41 points, the result of 13 wins in 16 matches.
