MEXICO -- Chivas' victory against Toronto FC secured the club's first CONCACAF title in 56 years -- Chivas beat Guatemalan side Comunicaciones 6-0 on aggregate in 1962 -- but it also helped to extend Mexico's unprecedented regional dominance: Mexican sides have now won 13 consecutive CONCACAF Champions League titles.
The last non-Mexican side to lift the CONCACAF Champions League was Costa Rican power Saprissa in 2005, who overcame Pumas 3-2 on aggregate in the final. The previous year, another Costa Rican side Alajuelense earned the right to represent CONCACAF at the Club World Cup after defeating Saprissa in the final.
