Humberto Suazo may very well be the best striker in all of CONCACAF and he just showed why. The Monterrey striker scored just before the final whistle blew at the end of the first half. Monterrey now leads Real Salt Lake 3-2 on aggregate in the CONCACAF Champions League final.
Real Salt Lake Vs. Monterrey, CONCACAF Champions League Final: Humberto Suazo Strikes First
The chance was almost too easy for Suazo, who received a pass from Sergio Santana just outside the 6-yard box and practically walked in past RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando. Santana did most of the hard work on the goal, beating his defender on the dribble, drawing Rimando's attention and laying it off to Suazo who was essentially unmarked by the trailing Jamison Olave.
RSL probably had the better of play throughout the first half, but the final 10 minutes of the half were decidedly tilted toward Monterrey. Suazo was able to work himself free on one shot from just outside the penalty area and Monterrey had started to control more of the possession.
