The second and final week of quarterfinal-round action in the CONCACAF Champions League commenced with two contests on Tuesday.
At Torreon, Mexico:
Emanuel Villa scored twice (36', 52') as Cruz Azul overpowered hosts Santos Laguna 3-1 in game two of their two-match series and won the series 5-1 on aggregate. They will next take on the winner of the Monterrey-Toluca series (the Striped Gang lead 1-0 on aggregate).
At Sandy, Utah:
Javier Morales scored twice (35', 76') while Andy Williams added a goal (90'+5) and two assists as Real Salt Lake defeated the visiting Columbus Crew 4-1 in game two and won their two-match series 4-1 on aggregate. The winner of the CD Olimpia (Honduras)-Deportivo Saprissa (Costa Rica) series (with Saprissa up 1-0 on aggregate) awaits RSL in the semifinal round. RSL became the first US-based club to reach the semifinals in the three years since the reorganization of the old CONCACAF Champions Cup into the CONCACAF Champions League.
