Pachuca's journey to the final has been characterized by perseverance and grit. After securing their sixth CONCACAF Champions Cup earlier this year, they carried that success into Qatar, where they initially defeated Botafogo with a dominant 3-0 scoreline.
The attacking prowess was showcased through goals from Oussama Idrissi, Nelson Deossa, and Salomon Rondon. Their semifinal matchup against Al Ahly proved to be much more competitive, culminating in a penalty shootout victory, thanks to goalkeeper Carlos Moreno, who saved the crucial kick.
