A field muddied by a pre-match downpour saw El Salvador’s FAS hold Toluca to a 0-0 draw despite the Red Devils being awarded a late penalty kick.

Manuel Perez put his penalty attempt off the crossbar and did the same with his rebound attempt, failing to convert one of the match’s two clear chances. The misses also killed the momentum Toluca’d build up over the second-half, with a period of pressure creating the penalty on Manuel Salazar.
Perez was involved in the match’s only other clear chance, crossing a ball for Emmanuel Cerda in the 51st minute that forced a sprawled Luis Contreras to save with his legs.
FAS’s only period of strength was in the match’s first fifteen minutes, with Toluca the more dangerous team throughout the body of the match.
The draw leaves the four teams in Group D tied with one point, Olimpia having earned a 1-1 draw in Puerto Rico last week.
