The semi-final between the Mexicans of Pachuca and the Egyptians of Al-Ahly turned to the advantage of the former.
The representatives of the Concacaf zone (North, Central America and the Caribbean) made the difference on penalties after a goalless draw against the winners of the African Champions League (0-0, 6 tab to 5).
Winner of Botafogo, winner of the Copa Libertadores recently, Pachuca will therefore play for the title against the reigning European champion, directly qualified for the final. Note that the two teams will appear in the same group for the Club World Cup next summer in the United States.
