Minute		Description
90' +4		There is the final whistle, and Olimpia are through to the quarterfinals as Group D winners after a comprehensive performance this evening. Despite a good campaign, Puerto Rico will go home and prepare for next season's challenge. Olimpia also complete the field of eight for the knockout round. Group winners are Real Salt Lake, Santos Laguna, Monterrey and Olimpia. Runners-up are Cruz Azul, Columbus Crew, Deportivo Saprissa and Toluca.
90' +2		The fans are in full voice as they have seen their side perform very well in this second half. They'll be rewarded with knockout-round football in this competition in early 2011.
90'		Fourth official José Pineda indicates that a minimum of three minutes will be added on.
89'		Castro takes a drive from over 30 yards, and Gaudette is relieved after a severe deflection goes over the top of the goal.
87'		Boniek García takes a crack at goal from 20 yards out, but his shot is blocked on the way.
85'		A. Lozano enters the game and replaces R. Rojas.
85'		Two-goal scorer Rojas comes off to a massive ovation from the home crowd after a fine performance. On comes Anthony Lozano to finish out the game.
84'		It has been a great second half by Olimpia with some nifty passing to beat the shaky - at best - Puerto Rico offside trap. They have been caught out on two of the three goals, and Olimpia have made them pay.
81'		M. Castillo enters the game and replaces D. Turcios.
		Fabio de Souza has scored a goal for Olimpia!
		Goal Olimpia! It's the defender Fabio De Souza adding the third with a phenomenal shot from 25 yards out.
80'		Ten minutes to go, and Olimpia can sense it now. If this result holds, they will finish top of Group D on 13 points ahead of Mexican side Toluca.
78'		J. Salem enters the game and replaces C. Nurse.

Minute		Description
77'		R. Rojas has scored a goal for Olimpia!
77'		Goal Olimpia! What a superb solo effort by Rojas, as he bags his second of the game for a 2-0 lead. The striker controls on the byline, turns back around and fires in off the hands of Gaudette from an impossible angle. Great strike, and it could well mean the end of the tournament for Puerto Rico.
75'		Daniel looks to make a cross on the left, but he is closed down by the ever present Boniek García.
73'		Olimpia goalkeeper Valladares hasn't had much to do in this one, as Puerto Rico have managed only a handful of half-chances. They will need to conjure up something special in the last quarter hour if they are to secure a stunning qualification for the knockout phase.
71'		Foley breaks up the left side, but he is tripped up by García on his way.
70'		Huge drive by Boniek García, but he is denied by the goalpost. The ball comes off the woodwork from 20 yards, deflects off Gaudette, and ends up out of play for a corner.
69'		There is a stoppage in play, and Olimpia make their first change with Alexander López replacing Bruschi.
68'		A. López enters the game and replaces R. Bruschi.
67'		A late challenge by Nurse on Castro earns Olimpia a free kick on the center line.
65'		Foley with a half volley from the center of the area, but his effort goes into the side netting.
63'		Foley is Puerto Rico's joint-leading scorer with four goals in the competition. Teammate Nicholas Addlery, who is not in the team tonight, also has four.
62'		D. Foley enters the game and replaces N. Delgado.
		J. Hansen enters the game and replaces A. Rivera.
		And now both subs are made by Clarke with Foley and Hansen both coming on for Delgado and Rivera.
60'		Great cross from the left by Turcios to an unmarked Rojas, but he somehow fails to get off a shot at the far post.
57'		Nearly the second for Rojas as he turns on a shot near the penalty spot, but Gaudette gets down to make the save.
56'		The visitors just look a bit out of sorts, and they are lacking ideas up front. It may not be long before manager Colin Clarke introduces either David Foley or Josh Hansen into the game.
54'		Remember that Puerto Rico must win this game in order to advance, while Olimpia need only a point to earn a quarterfinal berth.
53'		R. Rojas has scored a goal for Olimpia! Assist by F. Arévalo.
53'		Goal Olimpia! There's the breakthrough for Olimpia as José Francisco Arévalo's cross from the right finds Rojas at the top for an unstoppable drive past a sprawling Gaudette. Great goal for the hosts, and matters just got a bit more complicated for Puerto Rico.
52'		Kevon Villaroel has a crack at goal from 30 yards, but his left-footed effort is over the bar.
50'		Tilguath's cross causes problems in the Puerto Rico area, but García's shot sails over the bar.
47'		Puerto Rico corner is taken by Sandy Gbandi falls in the center of the area, but there is no one to direct it on target.
46'		The whistle sounds and the second half is under way.
45' +1		...and indeed there is the almost immediate final whistle from Archundia. Scoreless would work in the end for Olimpia, as they need only a point to advance. But Puerto Rico have not yet created the quality chances that a team that must win needs. It should be a very intriguing second half in Tegucigalpa.
45'		Doesn't appear as if any time will be added...
43'		Moments after Bruschi comes close for Olimpia, García's distance effort sails over the bar.
41'		Rivera moves over to the right to cross to the back post, but the ball sails high and over the goal.
40'		A great move by Olimpia sees Lozano cross in from the left, but Gaudette is able to punch clear.
38'		Palacios tumbles over Jagdeosingh near the center, and Puerto Rico win a free kick to relieve a spell of Olimpia pressure.
35'		Ten minutes to go in the opening half and still no score for either side. It has been that kind of game, and perhaps a bit just that it's still level.
33'		Cross from the right is flicked on by Ramiro Bruschi, but Gaudette makes a nice reaction save.
32'		Turcios has a go with the right boot, but the wall does its job with a block.
31'		Free kick to Olimpia on the edge of the area as Turcios goes down under the challenge of Delgado.
29'		Free kick by Daniel is touched by Horst to Noah Delgado, but the Puerto Rico skipper's shot is blocked on its way in.
28'		Trying to spark the Olimpia attack from the back, Johnny Palacios plays a long ball forward. Unfortunately, it was hit far too hard and right to Gaudette.
26'		Danilo Turcios crosses in from the left after a short corner, but Gaudette gathers at the second attempt to quell the threat.
25'		Corner for Olimpia as Martínez plays it out and away from Lozano.
24'		Dangerous cross on the byline by Castro, but Gaudette is able to gather before Rojas can arrive at the near post.
23'		Martínez flings in a long ball that is headed toward the target, but the ball falls wide of the goal. Goal kick for Noel Valladares.
22'		Free kick on the right for Puerto Rico as Fabio De Souza hauls down Jagdeosingh.
21'		Gaudette is forced to come off his line to gather the ball as Rojas was lurking at the top. Olimpia now in the ascendancy after an early spell of pressure from Puerto Rico.
20'		Distance drive by Reynaldo Tilguath, but Gaudette is equal to the challenge low to his right.
19'		The inswinging corner comes across the six-yard box, but there is no danger for Puerto Rico.
18'		Good cross from the left by Bany Lozano, but again Horst clears for a corner.
16'		Weak shot from the top by Olimpia is blocked and cleared by David Horst for Puerto Rico. At the other end, Keon Daniel takes a crack from 25 yards, but his shot sails wide.
14'		Boniek García crosses from the right, but the ball is headed away by Richard Martínez.
12'		Puerto Rico have started to assert themselves just a bit more early on in this first half, but some poor touches up top have killed potential chances.
11'		A poor touch by Alexis Rivera sees a great chance go awry for Puerto Rico. Jagdeosingh found Rivera unmarked in the left side of the area, but he couldn't control the ball.
9'		Good cross in from the left by Kendall Jagdeosingh, but the ball can't find a target in the center.
8'		Óscar Boniek García slots in through looking for Roger Rojas, but the ball is played too heavy. Easy clearance for goalkeeper Bill Gaudette.
6'		The sides have traded possession early on here, with both sides well aware of what they need to do to advance.
4'		Olimpia in their all-white strip tonight while Puerto Rico are in their standard orange kits.
2'		Early corner for Puerto Rico, but Keon Daniel's inswinger is out of reach for all involved.
1'		The referee this evening is Benito Archundia of Mexico, and the opening whistle gets the match under way.
		The layout of CONCACAF Champions League Group D will be decided tonight in Tegucigalpa as Olimpia play host to Puerto Rico Islanders on the final matchday of the group stage. With Toluca's victory over FAS this evening, Olimpia need a point to advance to the quarterfinals. But if Puerto Rico can win, it would be the Islanders through and Olimpia left out on the head-to-head tiebreaker with Toluca. A point would also seal top spot in the group for the Hondurans. The two sides drew 1-1 in Puerto Rico on Matchday 1, and the tension should be palpable tonight.
