CONCACAF Champions League 2013: Cruz Azul, Tijuana and Heredia all in command of groups

Cartagines scored four goals and won when they played Isidro Metapan in El Salvador, but they couldn’t get the job done at home. They failed to score, and while they also held Metapan scoreless as well in a 0-0 draw, it was a missed opportunity as they looked to take command of Group 8.

The draw moved Cartagines into first place in the group, but just one point ahead of the LA Galaxy, who have only played one match to Cartagines’ three. Now the Costa Ricans almost certainly have to beat LA at home to have any hope of advancing to the knockout stages, and even that may not be enough.
