We are seconds away from the start of the match between the LAFC and the Tigers in Orlando.

The only time an MLS team has beaten an MX League club was in 1997 when DC United beat Toluca FC by a single goal.

The Galaxy in 1997 and Real Salt Lake in 2011 have been the US teams to lose the final of the Concachampions.

The last time a US team won this competition was in 2000 with the Los Angeles Galaxy after beating Olympia 3-2 in the final.

Bob Bradley knows what the rivalry between Mexico and the United States means, as he was long in charge of the Stars and Stripes, so his contribution to his boys will be key.

It is not only the champion team that is defined, since both Vela and Gignac, with five goals, want to be crowned champions of goleo.

Both Javier Aquino and André Gignac, who were doubtful until yesterday and did not train, will be in the field today without any problem, being key pieces in the attack of the cats.

Bob Bradley decides not to move it to the stop he had against America and repeats the same 11 players to try to win the championship.

Vermeer; Blackmon, Murillo, Segura, Palacios; Kaye, Blessing, Cifuentes; Vela, Musovski, Rosi.

Guzmán: Salcedo, Ayala, Rodríguez, Dueñas; Carioca, Pizarro, Aquino, Quiñones; Fernández, Gignac.

Ricardo Ferretti and the Tigers are looking for their first title after losing three finals to America, Pachuca and Monterrey.

Led by Captain Carlos Vela, the LAFC has stepped up to the plate with the aim of lifting the title.

LAFC coach Bob Bradley said they will have to pay special attention to what Frenchman Gignac, who has already scored five goals in this tournament, can do.

We are going to have a great game. Gignac has a great personality and he is a great player, I have seen him a lot, he is a strong reference in the attack. We understand what it means to be a great player.

Ricardo Ferretti assured that the key will be to be calm all the time and avoid falling into provocations that affect them:

"I hope that the players on the court have an adequate behavior, that the technical bodies follow the same example of good behavior, what has happened in these games that we have been here, I understand it is not so simple, the blood boils, the intensity, the dispute, but if we want things to be good we have to support and anticipate much more".

With the exception of Monterrey, all the Mexican fans want the Tigers to win the cup to prevent an American team from winning it under this edition, which dates back to the 2008-09 season.

The Tigres are already arriving at the stadium, highlighting the presence of the French goal scorer Gignac, who will be present tonight.

This will be the ball with which the final of the Concachampions between Tigres and LAFC will be played.

Today the champion of the Concachampions done Tigres is defined and LAFC is looking for its first title at international level. We start with the coverage.

There is no other than Carlos Vela who, curiously, has marked all the Mexican teams he has played against in this edition (León, Cruz Azul and America).

The experience of Argentine goalkeeper Nahuel Guzman could be key either in the 90 minutes, or in the shots from the penalty spot.

As has been the case throughout this event, there will be no fans in the stands due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Vermeer; Blackmon, Murillo Segura, Palacios; Kaye, Atuesta, Cifuentes, Rossi; Vela, Musovski.

Guzman; Rodriguez, Ayala, Salcedo, Duenas; Quinones, Pizarro, Carioca, Aquino; Fernandez, Gignac.

Since 2000, a US team has failed to win the title, an issue that will seek to break up Bob Bradley's leadership.

The Tigres will be looking to win their first international title, remembering that they have already lost this competition three times.

The Tigres vs LAFC Impact match will be played at the stadium Orlando City, in Florida. The kick-off is scheduled at 10pm ET.
