TFC won the game, they lost the series on penalty kicks but can hold their heads high. The Chivas fans gave TFC a standing ovation, Giovinco won the Champions League best player trophy and hometown boy Osorio won the Golden Boot. No North American team has beaten 2 Mexican teams, least of all the two best Mexican sides. Unfortunately, injuries caught up to us and a depleted side lost on penalties when a single goal could have won them the whole trophy.
Our loss in the 2016 final fueled us to a record shattering run and MLS Cup win in 2017, hopefully this narrow loss will fuel a CCL trophy win in the future. One thing is for sure, the Mexican top flight will be seeing more of us.
