Cruz Azul totally dominated the first half, as Puerto Rico has decided to play total defense. The goal came in the 43rd minute on a rocket fired from just outside the arc. Puerto Rico has not come close to a decent chance on goal.
Cruz Azul is playing with 10 men due to a bizarre play in the 33rd minute. After the ball hit the Puerto Rico goal post and rolled away, the players turned upfield.
Bill Gaudette, the Puerto Rico goalkeeper, stood over the ball. Cristian Rivieros of Cruz Azulr charged in, and appeared to slide past Gaudette.
Paul Hall, the Canadian referee who worked the Mexico at Honduras match last week, bought Gaudette's dive and ejected Rivieros.
