Pachuca beat Al Ahly on penalties – after a 0-0 draw in regulation and extra time – and will thus face Real Madrid in the Intercontinental Cup final. The final act is scheduled for December 18th at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar.
The Egyptians had a two-penalty advantage in their favor in the final penalty sweepstakes due to early errors by Rondón and Borja Gastón, but the Mexican team managed to turn the tide with goalkeeper Moreno as the hero. Final result: 6-5 for Pachuca.
