Three clubs won their way into the group stage of the 2009-10 CONCACAF Champions League on Tuesday night.
At Bayamon, Puerto Rico:
A 0-0 game-two home deadlock with Toronto FC enabled the Puerto Rico Islanders to take their two-match preliminary round series 1-0 on aggregate.
At San Salvador, El Salvador:
In game two between DC United and Club Deportivo Luis Angel Firpo, with last week's match in Washington deadlocked at 1-1, the Salvadorian club's Leandro Lourenco Franco put the hosts ahead 1-0 on a successful penalty kick at 39 minutes, only to see the visitors' Christian Gomez tie it up at 42 minutes. That's how game two ended, a 1-1 draw. After 30 scoreless overtime minutes, DC United, with Chris Pontius, Danny Sztelea, Ben Olsen, Marc Burch, and Christian Gomez all converting their penalty kicks, took the shootout 5-4 to advance to the group stage.
At Jalapa, Guatemala:
Ulises Mendivil's double (21', 36') helped guide Pachuca to a 3-1 road win over Deportivo Jalapa in game two, thus finishing the Mexican club's two-match demolition of their Guatemalan opponents 10-1 on aggregate.
