After seven rounds of penalty kicks, Columbus Crew were unable to hit their final attempt, but there was controversy with the outcome.

The Campeones Cup, which started in 2018, is played annually between the winner of the MLS Cup and the winner of Mexico's Campeón de Campeones.

Club America beat the Columbus Crew 5-4 on penalty kicks after their game ended 1-1 after 90 minutes. The final was the Crew’s third of the year. It lost to Pachuca in the 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup final and beat LAFC for the 2024 Leagues Cup.

With the first corner kick of the Campeones Cup, Crew forward Diego Rossi executed the attempt and sent the ball into Club America's box. After the kick was cleared out of the box by Club America, Crew midfielder Sean Zawadzki went down, holding his abdomen and required medical attention.

Luis Malagón was imperious in the América net, standing on his head to deny a flurry of Columbus chances. But the Crew are simply inevitable at home, and they found an equalizer through the unlikely source of Malte Amundsen from a scramble in the box.

Después de fallar un penal que costó una eliminación, Luis Malagón terminó llorando al final de un partido el mes pasado.
