U.A.N.L vs. LAFC - Football Match Report - December 22, 2020 - ESPN

Andre-Pierre Gignac scored the tie-breaking goal in the 84th minute as Tigres UANL edged LAFC 2-1 on Tuesday at Orlando to win their first CONCACAF Champions League title.

Tigres, from San Nicolas de los Garza, Mexico, had lost in the CONCACAF Champions League final in 2016, 2017 and 2019. LAFC were in the title match for the first time.

A Mexican team won the competition for the 15th year in a row. The last non-Mexican side to claim the title was Costa Rica's Saprissa in 2005, and the last U.S. team to earn the championship was the LA Galaxy in 2000.
