Overview
- Cruz Azul won the two-legged Clausura final with a 2-1 victory in the second leg, the title decided by Rodolfo Rotondi's stoppage-time winner at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario.
- The tie followed a goalless first leg and saw Pumas open the scoring through Robert Morales before Cruz Azul levelled in the 53rd minute via a Ruben Duarte own goal.
- A late VAR review resulted in Pumas finishing the match with 10 men when Uriel Antuna was sent off in added time, and some reports said a second sending-off occurred though that detail is disputed.
- The win caps a rapid turnaround under interim coach Joel Huiqui, who took charge shortly before the playoffs and guided Cruz Azul through the postseason run.
- The title gives Cruz Azul their 10th Mexican league crown and comes amid varying accounts about longer-term milestones, with some outlets reporting this as their first full-season title since 1997 and first league win since 2021.
