This guaranteed a Mexican champion for the eleventh straight year and 32nd time since the confederation began staging the tournament in 1962 (including the tournament's predecessor, the CONCACAF Champions' Cup). América were the defending champions and also the record holders of six CONCACAF club titles (1977, 1987, 1990, 1992, 2006, 2014–15), which they achieved in last year's final, where they beat the Montreal Impact. This was the first CONCACAF club final for Tigres, although they had played in a continental club final before, where as a guest team they lost in last year's Copa Libertadores final to River Plate.

The away goals rule would be used if the aggregate score was level after normal time of the second leg, but not after extra time, and so the final would be decided by penalty shoot-out if the aggregate score was level after extra time of the second leg. Matches First leg Summary The first leg was held on 20 April at Estadio Universitario in San Nicolás de los Garza. In the 32nd minute, Tigres had a great chance to open the scoring, but Javier Aquino sent a one on one chance flying over the crossbar. In the 49th minute, Darío Benedetto opened the scoring with a header from close range following a lobbed pass from Osvaldo Martínez. Seven minutes later, Andrés Andrade finished into an empty net from about 40 yards out, but the goal was disallowed for offside. This was a controversial decision because the goalkeeper had rushed out to the halfway line, and replays showed Andrade was inches behind the ball and the goalkeeper when he received it. In the 92nd minute, Oswaldo Martinez scored from long range into the bottom left corner after a counter attack.20 April 2016 Tigres UANL vs. América https://www.espn.com/soccer/report/_/gameId/446959 2022-10-18 ESPN.com en20 April 2016 Club América venció a Tigres en la ida de la final de SCCL https://www.concacaf.com/es/champions-league/noticias/club-america-vencio-a-tigres-en-la-ida-de-la-final-de-sccl/ 2022-10-18 Concacaf Details Tigres v América 2016 4 20 y 20:45 -5 Tigres UANL MEX 0–2 MEX América Benedetto 49 Martínez 90+3 Estadio Universitario, San Nicolás de los Garza 39,293https://www.concacaf.com/champions-league/about/ About CONCACAF 12 April 2021 Roberto García (Mexico) https://www.concacaf.com/en/champions-league/game-details?matchid=2377978 _tigres1516h _tigres1516home _tigres1516h _tigres1516h _tigres1516h FFFF00 FFFF00 FFFF00 FFFF00 FFDD00 Tigre _america1516a _america1516a _america1516a _america1516a _america1516a 000060 000060 000060 000060 000060 América GK 1 ARG Nahuel Guzmán 57 RB 2 MEX Israel Jiménez CB 4 MEX Hugo Ayala CB 3 BRA Juninho (c) LB 24 MEX José Rivas RM 25 MEX Jürgen Damm 61 CM 19 ARG Guido Pizarro CM 18 USA José Francisco Torres 70 LM 20 MEX Javier Aquino CF 9 BRA Rafael Sóbis 77 CF 10 FRA André-Pierre GignacSubstitutions: GK 22 MEX Enrique Palos DF 6 MEX Jorge Torres Nilo DF 13 MEX Antonio Briseño MF 8 ARG Lucas Zelarrayán 77 MF 11 MEX Damián Álvarez 61 MF 15 MEX Manuel Viniegra FW 17 CHI Héctor Mancilla 70Manager:BRA Ricardo Ferretti GK 1 MEX Hugo González 84 RB 17 USA Ventura Alvarado CB 2 ARG Paolo Goltz CB 12 PAR Pablo Aguilar 23 LB 6 PAR Miguel Samudio RM 14 ARG Rubens Sambueza (c) CM 21 MEX José Guerrero 56 CM 10 PAR Osvaldo Martínez LM 8 COL Andrés Andrade 88 CF 9 ARG Darío Benedetto 70 CF 24 MEX Oribe Peralta 90+2Substitutions: GK 39 MEX Jonathan León DF 3 MEX Gil Burón DF 4 MEX Erik Pimentel 70 DF 15 MEX Osmar Mares 88 MF 26 MEX Francisco Rivera MF 33 MEX Daniel Vázquez FW 32 MEX Alejandro Díaz 90+2Manager:MEX Ignacio Ambríz thumb|Estadio Universitario, San Nicolás de los Garza, Mexico, hosted the first leg.
