MEXICO CITY (AP) — Goalkeeper Luis García’s shootout heroics lifted Toluca past UANL Tigreson Saturday, securing the club’s first CONCACAF Champions Cup title in 23 years.
Jorge Díaz Price, who came into the match in the 88th minute, put the home side ahead at the end of the first period of extra time, but Brazilian defender Joaquim Pereira leveled things with a header in the 113th minute.
In the penalty shootout García saved attempts from Fernando Gorriarán and then José Juan Purata to give Toluca a 6-5 victory.
The Red Devils, who defeated LAFC in the semifinals with a dramatic comeback victory, won the CONCACAF title for the third time in their history and first since 2003.
