Washington Spirit NWSL fell short in the Concacaf W Champions Cup final, losing 5-3 to Club América. The match was a back-and-forth thriller, with the Spirit holding a 63% possession advantage but ultimately falling short. América's Aylín Aviléz broke the seal in the 22nd minute, and Geyse doubled the lead five minutes later. The Spirit's Sofia Cantore scored an audacious shot from over 30 yards out, but América's Ivorian winger Rosemonde Kouassi came alive in the second half, scoring two goals to give the Spirit the lead. However, América's Geyse equalized, and Camberos sealed the win in the sixth minute of stoppage time. América's manager Ángel Villacampa made key rotational decisions, including subbing off Aviléz for Irene Guerrero, who was involved in the winning counterattack. América's win marked their first Concacaf championship trophy, and they finished fourth in the inaugural Concacaf W Champions Cup in 2016.
