Mon Jun 23 01:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Chivas and León to Battle for Inaugural “Copa Morelos” Title
**Cuernavaca, Mexico** – The inaugural “Copa Morelos, El Torneo que Nos Une” will reach its climax tonight as Chivas Guadalajara and León face off for the championship at the Estadio Agustín Coruco Díaz. The highly anticipated final is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 PM local time.
Chivas, boasting a near-full-strength squad aside from their international players competing in the Gold Cup 2025, secured their place in the final after a dominant 2-0 victory over Atlante. Despite Atlante’s goalkeeper Gabino Espinoza’s stellar performance, an own goal from Daniel Aguirre and a strike from Armando González “La Hormiga” sealed the win for the “Rebaño Sagrado.” Coach Gabriel Milito’s side displayed a vertical and efficient style of play, showcasing their ambition in this pre-season tournament.
León, on the other hand, clinched their spot in the final with a dramatic late victory against Cruz Azul. Despite falling behind, goals from Sebastián Santos and Ettson Ayón propelled “La Fiera” to a 2-1 win. Cruz Azul primarily fielded a youthful squad from their U-21 category.
Before the championship showdown, Atlante and Cruz Azul will compete for third place in a consolation match earlier in the day, scheduled for 5:00 PM at the same venue.
The “Copa Morelos” promises exciting action as both Chivas and León vie to become the first-ever champions of this newly established tournament.
