Minute		Description
90' +1		Despite the stoppages, the referee decides the game does not need to continue. It's over, and a thorough 6-1 win sends Santos through as Group B winners. Municipal, meanwhile, are eliminated with Columbus Crew advancing as runners-up.
87'		D. Ludueña has scored a goal for Santos Laguna!
87'		Goal Santos! Once again it's Ludueña with an expert free kick that beats Álvarez to the right post. A great effort, and it's the second free kick goal for Ludueña. 6-1 to the home side.
86'		Free kick for Santos at the top of the area in the center of the pitch. A chance now for the Mexicans to further add to their lead.
83'		It's been a comprehensive performance for Santos, one worthy of a group winner in the CONCACAF Champions League. With so many viable goalscoring options, Santos will prove to be a tough draw for anyone in the knockout phase of the competition.
81'		C. Quintero has scored a goal for Santos Laguna! Assist by C. Morales.
81'		Goal Santos! Morales threads a pass through the middle for Quintero, and he beats the offside trap and Álvarez to the short side for the fifth goal for Santos.
78'		Quintero does well at the other end to turn inside his marker, but he misses a sitter by sending the ball flying over the bar with only the keeper to beat.
77'		M. Rodríguez gets yellow.
77'		A handball in the area by Municipal's striker Rodríguez draws the first booking of the game.
76'		Final changes for both sides as Pablo Hutt replaces Marvin Ávila for Municipal. Also, José María "Chema" Cárdenas is on for Santos in place of Arce.
75'		P. Hutt enters the game and replaces M. Ávila.
		J. Cárdenas enters the game and replaces F. Arce.
		A goalmouth scramble leads to a shot on goal for Quintero, but substitute goalkeeper Álvarez makes a nice reaction save.
74'		The shot did take a deflection, but Santos can't make anything happen with the corner.

Minute		Description
73'		Nearly the fifth goal for Santos, but Torres drags his shot wide of the far post.
71'		Less than 20 minutes to go with Santos en route to top spot in Group B. The result will also ensure Columbus Crew go through as group runners-up.
69'		Hard corner by Ramírez, but Sánchez is able to cover up at the near post.
68'		J. Plata enters the game and replaces J. Vides.
68'		Municipal make another change with Juan Carlos Plata replacing Jaime Vides.

64'		C. Quintero enters the game and replaces O. Peralta.
		C. Benítez enters the game and replaces R. Ruiz.
		Carlos Darwin Quintero replaces two-goal scorer Peralta, who goes off to a great ovation. In addition, Ruiz goes off in place of Christián Benítez.
62'		The mood of Municipal, already downtrodden from the 4-1 deficit, is made worse by the injury to their keeper Penedo. It's a tough break for a side that fought to the very end in this competition.
60'		R. Alvarez enters the game and replaces J. Penedo.
60'		There is the change as Rony Álvarez replaces the fallen Penedo between the posts for Municipal.
59'		Sadly Penedo is being carted off the pitch, and he is in some discomfort. The injury may be more serious than initial indications seem, and he will need to be replaced.
57'		Penedo is down for a bit of treatment. He's gotten a lot of work so far in this game, and his legs may be feeling the effects.
55'		Long drive by Ludueña from the right is parried aside by Penedo for a corner kick. The ball comes down for Arce, who earns another corner.
54'		Ramírez takes a free kick for Municipal from the left side, but his effort is straight into the Santos wall.
53'		Quick pass forward seeks out Arce in the area, but Flores touches the ball away to prevent a potential fifth goal.
51'		O. Peralta has scored a goal for Santos Laguna! Assist by C. Morales.
51'		Goal Santos! A great throughball finds Peralta at the near post on the left, and he dummies past a defender before firing in his second of the match. Surely that is the goal that puts Municipal out of the Champions League.
50'		Great chance for Ruiz to score the fourth, but his close-range shot is denied by Penedo.
48'		Ludueña crosses short, but Flores is there to clear for a corner.

40'		R. Ruiz has scored a goal for Santos Laguna!
40'		Goal Santos! Just as Municipal get one back, Santos again have a two-goal lead. A long drive by Paco Torres is parried by Penedo, and "El Pony" Ruiz is on hand to slot home the rebound. Heartbreaking for the visitors.
39'		J. Castillo has scored a goal for Municipal! Assist by S. Guevara.
39'		Goal Municipal! There's the spark Municipal needed as Castillo slots home from the left side of the area to cut it to 2-1. Sergio Guevara lofted over the top for Castillo, who turned inside Iván Estrada before beating Sánchez to the far post.
37'		Municipal coach Guilherme Farinha will need to inject some life into the squad at half-time, and they will need to mount more meaningful attacks if they are to somehow come back.
35'		Gonzalo Romero crosses from the right for Juan José Castillo, but his header is straight at Sánchez.
33'		Fernando Arce takes a crack at the Municipal goal from over 20 yards, and Penedo is fortunate to see the shot sail wide.

27'		D. Ludueña has scored a goal for Santos Laguna!
27'		Goal Santos! Ludueña strikes a brilliant free kick with the right boot, leaving Penedo rooted to the ground. Fantastic strike, and it's 2-0 to the home side.
26'		Free kick for Santos in the middle about 25 yards out.
25'		Lob over the top for Mario Rodríguez looks dangerous, but Santos goalkeeper Osvaldo Sánchez comes out to clear.
24'		Peralta charges down a loose ball with Cristián Noriega, but the goal scorer commits the foul.
23'		Santos have a bit of life in their steps after that fine goal on a first-time finish, and Municipal look noticeably rattled. They will need to recover quickly, and it is not out of reach at all. They were two goals down in their previous encounter with Santos before coming from behind to ultimately earn a point.
21'		Municipal are now up against it. They would lose any potential tiebreaker with Columbus Crew, so they must win this game in order to advance.
20'		O. Peralta has scored a goal for Santos Laguna! Assist by D. Ludueña.
20'		Goal Santos! Great ball through the left from Daniel Ludueña, and Peralta rifles a shot into the corner beyond the reach of Penedo. Great start and a great opener for the Mexican side.
17'		Good move by Peralta as he tries to lay off for Ruiz, but the defense recovers nicely.
15'		Santos enjoying the lion's share of possession, and they have looked dangerous early on.
13'		Huge opportunity for Santos as 'El Pony' Ruiz receives the ball in front of the goal but somehow manages to direct it over the bar.
10'		Santos' Peralta causes some danger in the opposing penalty area but fails to reach a teammate as keeper Penedo gets there first.
7'		Long drive by Felipe Baloy forces Penedo to stretch, but the shot sails wide.
6'		Yony Flores makes a saving clearance as Santos break in from the right side.
4'		Great save by Jaime Penedo keeps Santos off the board. Rodrigo Ruiz keeps it in play and squares for Oribe Peralta's header, but the visiting goalkeeper makes a spectacular stop.
2'		This encounter was a thriller back on Matchday 2, and with so much at stake it could prove to be that way again.
1'		The whistle of Panama's Roberto Moreno gets this final Group B clash under way.
		It is judgment day in CONCACAF Champions League Group B, and a huge game takes place tonight at Nuevo Estadio Corona as group leaders Santos Laguna of Mexico face third-placed Municipal of Guatemala. Santos lead on 10 points with Municipal on eight. Columbus Crew, who play Joe Public on Thursday evening, are second on nine points. Santos need just a point to advance, but a win ensures top spot in the group. Municipal, simply put, must at least earn a point from this game to advance. In these sides' meeting in Guatemala on Matchday 2, Carlos Castillo's 87th-minute penalty salvaged a 2-2 draw for Municipal.
