The Concacaf Champions League title is headed back to Liga MX after Leon beat LAFC again in the two-game series.
Acosta came close for LAFC in the 41st minute with a left-footed outside-the-box strike that went just wide left before Cherundolo made several halftime tweaks.
LAFC went back to a 4-2-3-1 shape as Chiellini and Matseuz Bogusz made way for Jose Cifuentes and Kwadwo Opoku, but the problem still lied in a lack of directness from the wide threats and the midfield offering little to no progression of the ball. Then Carlos Vela, LAFC's engine in attack, surprisingly was substituted in the 61st minute for youngster Stipe Biuk despite the side still needing three goals. As expected, Los Angeles still failed to create quality chances as it ended the game with 14 shots, yet only three hit the target. None posed a significant threat to Leon goalie Rodolfo Cota.
The win for Leon makes it the team's first win in tournament history. La Fiera were runner-ups in 1993, while LAFC was a runner up in 2020 after losing to Tigres 2-1 in a single-leg match. Leon ends a one-year American reign of the title after the Seattle Sounders became the first ever MLS team to win the tournament last year, having beat UNAM Pumas 5-2 on aggregate.
