Angel Sepulveda scored twice and Cruz Azul routed the Vancouver Whitecaps 5-0 on Sunday to win its seventh CONCACAF Champions Cup.

–>

Sepúlveda finished with a tournament-best nine goals. Ignacio Rivero, Lorenzo Faravelli and Mateusz Bogusz also scored for Cruz Azul, which built a 4-0 lead by halftime.

The Liga MX club tied crosstown rival Club America for most titles in the tournament. It was Cruz Azul’s first title since 2013-14 when La Máquina beat Tijuana.

The Whitecaps were looking to make history as the first Canadian team to win the tournament, and the first winner from Major League Soccer since the Seattle Sounders in 2022.

Cruz Azul had four shots on goal in the first half and scored on all of them. La Máquina took advantage of a defensive lapse by the Whitecaps and Ignacio Rivero coolly finished with his left foot in the seventh minute in front of cheering home fans at Estadio Olímpico Universitario.

Faravelli’s goal came after a similar defensive lapse, struck from distance and went into the net after hitting the post.

After Sepúlveda’s sliding goal in the 37th, Bogusz added a goal in the 45th just before the teams went into the break. Sepúlveda added another goal on a header in the 50th.

It was Cruz Azul goalkeeper Kevin Mier’s fourth clean sheet of the tournament. The Whitecaps had no shots on goal during the match.

Vancouver was without Sebastian Berhalter because of yellow card accumulation. He scored in both legs of the semifinal against Lionel Messi and Inter Miami.

The Whitecaps had hoped that captain Ryan Gauld would return from a knee injury in time for the game but he was not available.

Cruz Azul advanced with a two-legged victory over UANL Tigres.

It was the first meeting between the Whitecaps and Cruz Azul.

New York Knicks head coaching candidates: Who should replace Tom Thibodeau?

When the New York Knicks fired Tom Thibodeau Tuesday, it came as another reminder of the harsh reality of life as an NBA head coach: Teams often decide that the head coach who got them there isn’t the one to get them to the end.The Knicks made that decision after they lost to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals, their longest playoff run in 25 years. The next Knicks coach, whoever it is, will be expected to help take the team further, especially after the front office went all-in last offseason with trades for Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns.AdvertisementSo who will be the next Knicks head coach? Here is, in alphabetical order, a list of potential options that could make sense, based on which coaches are currently out of a job or could make the jump from the […]

Craque Neto apresenta dura realidade a Ancelotti na seleção brasileira: “Última esperança”

Carlo Ancelotti, novo técnico da seleção brasileira (Rafael Ribeiro/CBF) Craque Neto não poupou palavras ao analisar a atual fase da seleção brasileira, que não está jogando bem faz algum tempo e não consegue se impor diante dos adversários na América do Sul.

ACC, Florida State, Clemson file to dismiss cases against each other

The ACC’s legal infighting is officially over after Florida State, Clemson and the ACC filed to dismiss the cases against each other Tuesday.The move formally, finally, ends more than 17 months of litigation that played out in Florida (where the Seminoles sued the ACC), South Carolina (where the Tigers sued the conference) and North Carolina (where the Charlotte-based league separately sued both schools). Both schools and the league approved the settlement’s terms in March, and Florida State’s counsel estimated the agreements would be finalized in 30 days. The whole process took almost three months, approaching a June 9 deadline in one of the Florida courts.AdvertisementThe initial settlement terms clarified issues if/when Florida State, Clemson or other ACC members moved to leave the conference. Schools, not the league, would get to keep their TV rights, which are worth hundreds of millions […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been NBA MVP-worthy, but his goals aren’t complete

It’s been a near-perfect season for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The 26-year-old led the NBA in scoring (32.7 points per game) for the league’s best team in the regular season, earned All-Star and All-NBA First Team honors and was named MVP of the regular season and the Western Conference finals.The only milestones that remain are winning the Larry O’Brien Trophy and, potentially, the NBA Finals MVP. If he pulls it off, Gilgeous-Alexander would join Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neal as the only players in NBA history to win a championship, a scoring title, regular-season MVP and finals MVP in the same season.AdvertisementOn the latest episode of “The Athletic NBA Daily,” Dave DuFour and Es Baraheni explored where Gilgeous-Alexander’s season would rank among the greatest individual seasons in league history if the Oklahoma City Thunder finish the job and he takes home the […]

The 30-year-old righty, who signed a six-year, $210 million free-agent contract with Arizona in the offseason, exited Sunday’s start against the Washington Nationals in the top of the fifth after experiencing tightness in his throwing elbow.AdvertisementBurnes did not travel with the team on its current road trip to Atlanta, staying in Phoenix to get an MRI on Monday.“He did get the MRI.
