The winner of the 2007 edition of the CONCACAF Champions’ Cup™, will be determined tomorrow evening (25 April) when Mexican clubs Pachuca CF and CD Guadalajara face each other for the CONCACAF crown in the second-leg of the two-game finale.
The first-leg of the “all-tricolor” final ended all square as the two sides played to a 2:2 tie at CD Guadalajara’s Estadio Jalisco on 18 April.
The decisive return-leg will take place at the Estadio Hidalgo in Pachuca on 25 April, when the home team stage their first-ever Champions’ Cup Final.
CD Guadalajara were the winners of the inaugural Champions’ Cup in 1962, but have not won the CONCACAF crown since that year. Meanwhile, the last time Pachuca CF played for the CONCACAF Champions’ Cup™ title was in 2002, in Mexico City, when they defeated CA Monarcas Morelia (MEX) in the first “all-tricolor” final.
In addition to becoming the CONCACAF Champion, the winner will also have a chance to play as the CONCACAF representative against the world’s best teams in the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2007. The consolation for the Champions’ Cup runner-up is a place in the Copa Nissan Sudamericana later this year as one of three CONCACAF invitees to the South American club tournament.
