Universidad Cantera Norte players and coaches (pictured) lift the Scotiabank CONCACAF U-13 Champions League trophy after defeating Alajuelense in the final on August 12, 2017, in Toluca, Mexico.
TOLUCA, Mexico – Universidad Cantera Norte scored twice late in the second half and earned the 2017 Scotiabank CONCACAF U-13 Champions League title, defeating Alajuelense, 2-0, in the final on Saturday at the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol’s headquarters.
Alajuelense had not conceded a goal in the entire tournament until the 53rd minute, when Luis Fernando Renteria Farias headed home off a right-sided corner kick. Four minutes later, the scenario was eerily similar as Miguel Angel Carreon Medel sent a header into the back of the net off another in-swinging corner from the right.
Both sides completed the competition with 5W-0D-1L records.
In the match for third place, Fuerza Naranja topped Toronto FC, 1-0, on 29th minute goal by Angel De Jesus Ramirez Mora.
