No - just like the Concacaf League last fall, the away goals rule is turned off for the Final. If it's tied after 180, we'll have 30 minutes of extra time and then penalties.

Enjoyed this far more than when they faced off in the Liga MX final a couple years back - and worth noting that Diego Alonso's been there, done that, as he won this tournament with Pachuca in Tuca's face two years ago as well.

Earning Monterrey a 1-0 win at Tigres in their first leg left the centre-back with four goals in as many appearances in the competition this year."
What. A. Trip. That was the most entertaining clásico regio I've seen in recent years - and frankly, there haven't been many of them. As for the best CCL Final, IMO it's between this one and Monterrey over RSL in 2011...and the derby/rivalry factor gives the edge to what we just witnessed. Best of luck to rayados in whatever Club World Cup they get to play in thanks to tonight!
Are you saying there was an incorrect call about whether the whole ball crossed the line? I don't know anything other than the score, and I didn't care who won. It will be hard to have VAR in a competition that includes small stadiums in poor countries.
The angles from Univisión's broadcast didn't make it clear that the entire ball had crossed the line **shrug**
https://www.fifa.com/news/the-week-in-numbers-x9495 says: "2 clubs is what Diego Alonso became the first coach to win the Concacaf Champions League with by masterminding Monterrey’s 2-1 aggregate victory over fierce rivals Tigres. The former Uruguay forward guided Pachuca to glory in 2017. Goalkeeper Marcelo Barovero joined an elite bracket of players to have won the Copa Libertadores and Concacaf Champions League, having helped beat Tigres in both finals, the first with River Plate in 2015."
