The match was played at Stadium 974 in Doha, Qatar, and had all the drama of the FIFA World Cup clashes played at the same venue in 2022.
Al-Ahly looked much the better side for much of the contest, Pachuca not really having a chance of worth until late into the first 90 minutes.
Neither side could do any better through 30 minutes of extra-time, and after Pachuca missed its first two penalties in the shotout, Al-Ahly was in the box seat to take its place in the final.
But as Pachuca found its feet and started to score its spot kicks, Al-Ahly did the opposite, missing two in a row to take it to sudden death, and the 16th of the spot-kicks crashed back off the crossbar to hand Pachuca the victory.
