Cruz Azul crushed the Vancouver Whitecaps in the CONCACAF Champions Cup by a 5-0 score to win the North American club title for a seventh time. Cruz Azul gave a dominating performance, especially in a superb 1st half to get a historic victory.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Cruz Azul are set for battle in the Concacaf Champions Cup final on Sunday night, adding another chapter to the long rivalry between Major League Soccer and Liga MX.
