Seattle Sounders from Raul Ruidíaz champion of the Concachampions after beating Pumas UNAM 3-0 with a brace from the Peruvian. The ‘Flea’ has won his first continental title and will be able to play in the Club World Cup with his club.

After this important achievement, the congratulations of his teammates from the Peruvian team were immediate. The first was Gianluca Lapadula, who responded to the post that “Flea” uploaded with his mother. “Congratulations doll!”wrote the ‘Bambino’.

Another of the players from the ‘Team for all’ who congratulated Raúl was André Carrillo. “You are very brave”, wrote the ‘Culebra’. Miguel Araujo also joined in the congratulations. “Congratulations doll, crack”he asserted.

Party at Lumen Field

Peruvian Raúl Ruidíaz, with goals in the 45th and 80th minutes, and Uruguayan Nicolás Lodeiro (88) gave the Sounders their first win in the Concacaf Champions League and made them the first American team to qualify for the Club World Cup from FIFA.

Pumas could not recover from the 2-0 lead that he let slip in the first leg, when Seattle equalized with two penalties converted by Lodeiro, and on Wednesday he succumbed in the pressure cooker at Lumen Field, which broke an attendance record in the tournament with 68,741 spectators.

The university team, led by the Argentine Andrés Lillini, had been the last Mexican team to fall in a final of the main Concacaf club tournament, in 2005 against the Costa Rican Saprissa.

This title culminates a successful career for the Sounders, MLS champion in 2016 and 2019 and runner-up in 2020.
