No Mexican final in the CONCACAF Champions Cup: it will be Columbus-Pachuca

It will be there Columbus Crew Pachuca’s opponent in the final of the CONCACAF Champions Cup which will be played on June 2nd. The American team avoided the Mexican derby in the final by beating Monterrey also in the return match: after the 2-1 victory in the States, the 1-3 draw at the Estadio BBVA Bancomer arrived, which allowed the Nancy team to conquer a historic achievement.

Uphill game for the guests, trailing after 11′ due to Cheberko’s unfortunate own goal. The reaction, however, was extraordinary: Morris equalized in injury time in the first half, Rossi doubled the lead at the start of the second half and Russell-Rowe closed the score in the 89th minute. There is also time for a penalty missed by Ramirez: no poker, but it matters little: the appointment with history is in a month.
