CONCACAF Champions League Final: Cruz Azul Take Series Opener At Home

At Mexico City:

Cruz Azul took the opening match of the two-game CONCACAF Champions League final, 2-1 at home over fellow Mexican club Pachuca.  Emanuel Villa (19') and the visitors' Carlos Rodriguez (OG-23') scored in the first half for Azul, but Damian Alvarez scored what may still be a precious road goal at 69 minutes for Pachuca.

The return match will take place next Wednesday in Pachuca, Mexico.  The winner will represent CONCACAF in this December's FIFA Club World Cup which will take place in the United Arab Emirates.
