The 2010 North American SuperLiga final was a soccer match played on September 1, 2010, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts in the United States. The match determined the winner of the 2010 North American SuperLiga, the fourth and final edition of the North American SuperLiga, which was a tournament contested by teams from Major League Soccer and Liga MX. In the 2010 edition, the top four teams from each league that were not already participating in the 2010-11 CONCACAF Champions League qualified based on their point totals at the end of the previous season. Atlético Morelia defeated the New England Revolution in the match. The final took place in front of 10,414 supporters and was refereed by Carlos Batres from Guatemala.
Venue
[edit]
The final was hosted at Gillette Stadium, the home stadium of the New England Revolution since 2002.[1] It is a multi-purpose stadium located in the town of Foxborough, Massachusetts, less than 30 miles from Boston.[2][3] The stadium is also home to the New England Patriots of the National Football League, and hosts concerts and other special events.[4] Previously, the stadium hosted the 2002 MLS Cup final, where the Revolution lost to the LA Galaxy. That match drew a crowd of 61,316, the largest MLS post-season crowd until the 2018 MLS Cup in Atlanta.[5]
Background
[edit]The North American SuperLiga was an official North American soccer competition between teams from Liga MX of Mexico and Major League Soccer from the United States and Canada.[6] The competition served as the sub-regional championship for the North American section of CONCACAF.[7] The tournament was first held in 2007 and canceled in March 2011.[8] The entire 2008 tournament was broadcast live in Spanish in the United States on TeleFutura.[9]
The New England Revolution are one of ten original MLS teams, beginning play in 1996.[10] They were not invited to participate in the inaugural SuperLiga.[11] The team had competed in the 2003 and 2005 CONCACAF Champions' Cup, both times losing to Alajuelense on aggregate.[12] The 2008 SuperLiga was the first time that the Revolution had home matches in an international competition,[13] as they chose to play their "home" matches in the Champions' Cup in Bermuda and Costa Rica to avoid potential cold weather in the Boston area.[14] The Revolution had never won the MLS Cup, although they had reached the final on four separate occasions.[15] Additionally, the Revolution had played in two US Open Cup finals, winning their first-ever trophy in their 2007 win over FC Dallas.[16]
