Minute		Description
90' +2		There's the final whistle, and Monterrey make it three wins from three to start Group B play.
90'		Should have been three for Monterrey but Cardozo's cross for de Nigris is too weak, allowing Santamaría the chance to clear.
88'		Marathón with a last push through the middle, but Cardozo is flagged for offside.
86'		Just a handful of minutes remain in this one. These two sides next meet in the Group C finale on 20 October in Honduras.
83'		N. Cardozo enters the game and replaces A. Carreño.
83'		And now the final sub of the game as Monterrey bring off the influential Carreño to bring on Neri Cardozo.
82'		De Nigris is whistled for handball at the top of the area as he tries to play the ball forward.
80'		Ten minutes to go, and Marathón are a long way from snatching a result from a game controlled by Monterrey.
78'		Cardozo tries an ambitious bicycle kick from the top of the area, but the ball bounces wide of Ibarra's goal.
75'		A. Henriquez enters the game and replaces C. Mejía.
75'		And now the final change for the visitors as Astor Henríquez replaces Mejía.
74'		L. Pérez enters the game and replaces J. Basanta.
74'		Monterrey make their second sub as Basanta is replaced by Luis Ernesto Pérez.

Minute		Description
72'		De Nigris hits a weak header on the left side of the area, but Orio is able to gather.
70'		Suazo lines it up with the right boot, but the ball sails wide of the far corner.
69'		Rodríguez goes down under a hard tackle at the top of the area, and it's a free kick for Monterrey.
67'		Second booking of the match for Monterrey as Morales picks up a yellow for a harsh tackle.
66'		H. Morales gets yellow.
65'		Off the corner, Arellano puts a shot right on target only to see Orio make the save.
64'		Immediately, Suazo hits a dipping shot from 25 yards that forces Orio to parry behind for a corner.
63'		H. Suazo enters the game and replaces J. Zavala.
63'		There's the first change for Monterrey as Humberto Suazo, the Honduran striker, replaces Zavala.
61'		M. Rodriguez enters the game and replaces O. Paz.
61'		And very quickly Marathón bring the second sub on as Mario César Rodríguez replaces the rather ineffective Orvin Paz.
60'		One hour played and Monterrey are in complete control up 2-0.
59'		M. Acevedo enters the game and replaces F. Castillo.
59'		The first sub of the game is for Marathón, and Mariano Acevedo is on for Castillo.
57'		Marathón really need to dig in now. It would be a long way back for a result, but goal difference can prove crucial in a group stage format. They will want to keep this game as close as possible.
55'		Goal Monterrey! Paredes approaches the free kick with one step and hits a phenomenal left-footed drive past Orio to make it 2-0. Sensational strike by William Paredes and a deserved second for the hosts.
54'		W. Paredes has scored a goal for Monterrey!
54'		Free kick for Monterrey about 20 yards from the goal frame in the center.
53'		The match is getting noticeably more physical and more tense as the game seems to be poised for another big moment.
51'		A great save by Orio denies Paredes from 15 yards, and the Hondurans are still alive. The hard shot was parried, and the defense was able to clear before a rebound could be had.
50'		The service comes low to the near post, and Santamaría's header is well off the mark.
49'		Corner for Marathón. This could be an opening for the visitors.
48'		Right off the bat, more possession for the hosts. Marathón might have to catch a counterattack to have a chance.
46'		We are back on in Monterrey with the Mexicans 45 minutes from a third victory out of three.
45' +3		And there is the half-time whistle with de Nigris' goal holding up for Monterrey at the break.
45' +2		Corner kick for Monterrey taken by Jesús Arellano is right into the arms of Orio.
45' +1		We are into stoppage time, and the fourth official indicates two minutes will be added on.
45'		Another floated ball, and another attempted header by Carreño. This time the effort ends up over the bar.
44'		Fernando Castillo fires from 35 yards, but the low effort is no problem for Juan Ibarra.
42'		A long ball from the left by Paredes finds de Nigris at the far post, but the attempted center is cleared by the Marathón defense.

38'		Another cross from the right seeks out Carreño at the far post, but his diving header comes up empty.
36'		A long cross finds the head of Carreño in the area, but his effort is right into the arms of Orio.
35'		The ball falls loose to Orvin Paz at the top of the Monterrey area, but he and his teammates fail to get off a shot.
33'		William Paredes chases one down on the left, but the ball is too heavy for him to reach before the end line.
31'		A looping header from Carreño falls wide of the target with Orio never in danger. The defending was a bit slack to let Carreño get to that ball.
30'		Half an hour gone, and Monterrey seem firmly in control despite the narrow 1-0 scoreline. Marathón with just one chance at goal.
27'		Since the goal, Marathón have barely gotten a sniff of the ball. The Mexicans are looking to put this game out of reach early on.
26'		Monterrey press up the middle, but Santamaría clears what could have been a dangerous ball into the area.
24'		Nearly another there for Monterrey as Carreño has a go, but Orio is equal to the task.
23'		Goal Monterrey! A fortunate goal nicely converted by Aldo de Nigris. The cross comes in from the right and deflects off of defender Luis Santamaría, only to fall to de Nigris for the simple finish.
22'		A. de Nigris has scored a goal for Monterrey!
21'		Nearly the opener for Marathón as Mejía puts one wide.
20'		Good move down the right by Carlos Will Mejía earns a deep throw for the visitors.
19'		And now a foul against Cardozo has the Marathón striker in a bit of pain.
17'		Carreño is back up, but Machado will require a stretcher to leave the pitch.
16'		J. Zavala gets yellow.
16'		Players down for both sides - Machado for Marathón and Carreño for Monterrey.
15'		Monterrey try to break up the right, but the pass is long and a goal kick is awarded.
13'		Monterrey starting to look more comfortable on the ball now, and they are biding their time waiting for an opening.
11'		Early corner won by Abraham Carreño, but a foul on the service gives the free kick to Marathón.
10'		These two sides aren't pressing too hard early on. A lot of passing back and forth is keeping the game at a very mellow tempo.
8'		Claudio Nicolás Cardozo commits a foul on the right in attack as he goes up with José María Basanta.
6'		There is a very strong crowd here at Estadio Tecnológico, and they are in full voice for this encounter.
5'		Juan de Dios Ibarra flings in a cross from the left, but Marathón goalkeeper Shane Orio is there for the easy catch.
3'		Slow going early on with Marathón doing their best to control possession.
2'		No confusing the two sides in this one. Monterrey are in their dark blue-and-white striped shirts (not all dissimilar to Newcastle) while Marathón are sporting green and yellow stripes (à la Norwich City).
1'		There is the opening whistle, and the match is under way.
		Welcome to the third matchday of the 2010/11 CONCACAF Champions League and tonight's Group C matchup between Monterrey and Marathón. The Mexican side are top of the group after two games thanks to wins over Seattle Sounders and Deportivo Saprissa.
