Pachuca may have endured an up-and-down 2023/24 domestic season in Mexico but their continental form has been consistently superb. After smashing MLS side Philadelphia Union 6-0 on aggregate, then Costa Ricans Herediano 7-1 to reach the semi-finals, the Gophers squeezed past America with a 2-1 second-leg win at their Estadio Hidalgo home. That's no mean feat, considering America have won back-to-back Apertura and Clausura titles back in Mexico. Boasting the tournament's top scorer Salomon Rondon, Guillermo Almada have a fearsome attack and much will depend on the former West Brom and Newcastle forward, plus Morocco international Oussama Idrissi.

MLS Cup winners in two of the past four season, Columbus Crew will for once be underdogs going into a final against a third straight Mexican side. Wilfried Nancy's side knocked out Houston Dynamo in the last 16, before seeing off UANL and Monterrey to reach the final. The latter was especially impressive, beating a side containing former Real Madrid playmaker Sergio Canales and former Mexico captain Hector Moreno home and away. Canadian youngster Jacen Russell-Rowe scored in both legs of that fixture and is a hot property, while Watford fans will recall Chuco Hernandez's industry (if not goalscoring) up front.  

Club matches don't get any bigger than this in North and Central America – 90 minutes to be declared the continent's best. Read on to find out how you can watch the Pachuca vs Columbus Crew live stream wherever you are.
