Minute		Description
90' +6		There is the final whistle. A draw is the result and some thrilling moments from both sides throughout. Good recovery by the home side after conceding late in the first half, but a good job by an inexperienced Colorado side to get a point on the road.
90' +5		The corner is only half cleared, but Pavón's ball for Martínez runs over the line. At the other end, Amarikwa lays the ball off for Larentowicz, but the shot sails high.
90' +4		Tension building as the visitors try to hang on for a point here. Corner kick for Real España.
90' +1		Into stoppage time now, and four minutes will be added on. Ceus then makes a gigantic save diving back across his goal to stop a half-volley from Puerto.
90'		Long drive by Delgado goes wide as the hosts continue to press in the waning moments of the game.
87'		J. Rodríguez has scored a goal for Real España! Assist by M. Martínez.
87'		Goal Real España as more confusion in the back for Colorado leads to a goal for Rodríguez. Martínez's cross is headed by Kimura back toward the penalty spot for Rodríguez to half-volley into the net.
85'		Just missed again by Rodríguez. Great cross by Martínez to the penalty spot, and the Uruguayan floats in behind the defense for a header but the ball flashes wide. Great opportunity for the equalizer.
84'		Mario Martínez flashes in a shot from the right, but the tight angle was always tough to negotiate. Goal kick for Colorado.
81'		S. Nyassi enters the game and replaces R. LaBauex.
81'		Final sub now for Colorado as Sanna Nyassi will replace LaBauex.
80'		J. Rodríguez gets yellow.
80'		Yellow to Rodríguez for a bit too much talking after he wins a free kick.

Minute		Description
79'		Tempers flaring as Andre Akpan gets into it some Real España players, Mejía in particular. No cards issued by García as things calm and play continues.
78'		Real España struggling to hold their runs just a bit here as the flag goes up on Calderón. That's the third offside call on the hosts in the last five minutes.
77'		Larentowicz bids for his second as he lets loose from 25 yards, but he can only pull the ball wide of the near post.
76'		Free kick in the center as Puerto topples over Larentowicz.
75'		Quarter of an hour to go, and still time for Real España to find an equalizer. They have continued to look dangerous going forward, but haven't had the last touch go their way for much of the evening.
72'		Q. Amarikwa enters the game and replaces O. Cummings.
72'		And now another change for the visitors as Quincy Amarikwa comes on in place of Cummings.
71'		Long free kick by Mario Martínez is a laser sent in from the right, but Ceus is able to take the catch cleanly.
70'		D. Moor enters the game and replaces S. Palguta.
70'		First change now for Colorado as Drew Moor replaces Scott Palguta in the defense.
69'		Another long, left-footed drive goes high as LaBauex tried his luck from distance.
67'		C. Pavón enters the game and replaces J. Calderón.
67'		Big roar from the crowd as Honduran striker Carlos Pavón enters the fray in place of Calderón.
66'		Long ball forward finds its way through to a darting Rodríguez. His shot nutmegs Ceus, but the ball deflects off his inner thigh and out for a corner. Very fortunate for the visitors.
65'		Cummings drills a shot with his left foot from 25 yards out, but it sails high over the bar.
62'		Nearly the equalizer, but the ball is cleared off the line. Martínez's shot deflects off Kimura right to Lalín but his shot is blocked off the line by Earls with Ceus out of the net.
61'		Nane with a weak drive from 30 yards out drags wide of the target. Goal kick to Real España.
60'		Wells Thompson's corner kick is headed clear by the Real España defense. Meanwhile, Ceus goes down at the other end of the pitch with a bit of cramp. Looks like he'll continue after some treatment.
59'		Rodríguez has his corner headed clear by the defense, and his return ball into the area is blocked away.
58'		Another corner for the home side as Colorado continue to be unable to clear their lines.
57'		Real España have responded well here in the second half after conceding so late in the first term. The pressure continues from the hosts as they battle for an equalizer.
54'		Ceus again with a poor decision to come out for a cross, but he misses completely and the looping header by Delgado comes back off the bar.
52'		Mario Martínez swings in a free kick to the center of the area, but Lalín's glancing header flashes wide of the far post.
50'		Ceus punches away the free kick and the ensuing corner and is a bit slow back up to his feet.
49'		Free kick to Real España on the right as Rodríguez goes down under pressure from Earls.
47'		Cummings floats in a cross from the right, but there is no one at the other post to make the ball any more dangerous.

		J. Puerto enters the game and replaces C. Martínez.
		The second half of the match is now under way. Two changes for Real España as Jairo Puerto enters the game in place of Christian Martínez, and Jobany Colón replaces Sergio Bica.
45' +3		There's the halftime whistle, and what a huge blow to Real España just before the break. They had controlled most of the play and hit the woodwork just a few minutes before Larentowicz's fine strike on the other end. It should be an interesting second half to see how the hosts respond to conceding that goal.
45' +1		J. Larentowicz has scored a goal for Colorado Rapids! Assist by R. LaBauex.
45' +1		Goal Colorado and completely against the run of play the visitors are in front. Labauex saves the ball from going out for a throw after it deflects off Calderón and then finds the run of Larentowicz. The skipper then hits it low across the goal inside the far post for a shock 1-0 lead to Colorado.
44'		Julio Rodríguez serves in a corner from the far side, but the ball is cleared away by Cummings at the top of the area.
43'		Huge drive by Alfredo Mejía from 30 yards smashes against the crossbar with Ceus off his line just a bit. The hosts not too far away from the opener there, and it would have been a fiirecracker.
40'		Maynor Martínez flings in a cross from the right, but the ball goes across the end line before anyone can play it.
37'		Lalín through again in the middle after a fantastic throughball, but Ceus comes off his line nicely to block the shot away. Real España threatening in a big way at the moment.
36'		Lalín finds acres of space in the left side of the penalty area, but he scuffs his shot with no one near him. Missed opportunity for the hosts.
33'		Real España definitely the better of the two sides over the last 15 minutes as they have continued to control the ball in the neutral third of the pitch.
31'		Martínez takes the free kick with his left boot, but the ball one-hops comfortably into the hands of Ceus.
30'		M. Holody gets yellow.
30'		First booking of the match as Michael Holody is booked for Colorado for a late challenge about 25 yards from the goal. Free kick to Real España.
29'		Real España playing their first home match of the competition this evening in front of a very nice crowd in San Pedro Sula.
27'		Dramatic moment as Allan Lalín chases down a long ball with Ceus chasing. Ceus comes out for a sliding challenge and Lalín goes down to the turf. No whistle, though and the home players are beside themselves. Had the whistle gone, it could have been red for the visiting keeper.
24'		Mario Martínez puts a dangerous left-wing cross into the six-yard box, but Ceus is off his line to comfortably gather.
21'		Corner to the hosts again as Danny Earls is unable to bring down a cross inside the field of play. Ceus parried the corner, but was able to gather at the second effort.
20'		A bit more of the flow now with the hosts as the first half has had a distinct ebb-and-flow feel to it. Both defensive units holding firm thus far, though.
17'		Long ball forward finds its way through to Labauex, but again the flag goes up. Real España players plead for a booking as Labauex fires it into the net after the whistle, but the referee keeps his book stowed.
16'		Free kick in the center of the pitch for Real España as Ross Labauex is late with a sliding tackle on Calderón. Rodríguez tries his luck with a direct shot at goal, but it is never able to trouble Stewart Ceus.
14'		No real chances on goal as of yet in the game as the two sides struggle to find the final link in attack.
11'		Dangerous cross in from the right by Calderón finds its way through everyone in the Colorado penalty area as Real España begin to pose a threat on the counter.
9'		First corner of the match goes to Real España as Johnny Calderón wins it on the near side. Julio Rodríguez drives it low to the near side, but the ball can only find the side of the net.
8'		Larentowicz plays a one-two with Omar Cummings up top, but a bit too quickly as the striker is offside.
6'		A bit more pressure going forward from the hosts causing some nervous moments for Joseph Nane, but Colorado captain Jeff Larentowicz is able to clear with Edder Delgado posing a threat.
5'		The other match in Group B for Matchday 2 will take place tomorrow night as Isidro Metapán play host to Santos Laguna in El Salvador.
4'		Long-distance drive by Wells Thompson brings a fairly comfortable save out of Kevin Hernández in the Real España goal.
2'		Colorado enjoying the possession early as the teams feel each other out to start this match.
1'		Roberto García of Mexico is the match referee and he blows the whistle to get the match under way.
		Good evening to all and welcome to San Pedro Sula in Honduras for this 2011-12 CONCACAF Champions League Group D tie between hosts Real España and Colorado Rapids of the USA. Real España will look to bounce back from Matchday 1's 3-2 defeat to Santos Laguna of Mexico, while Colorado will look to build on a 3-2 victory over Isidro Metapán. Plenty on the line for both sides as they posture themselves for the remainder of the group phase. Stay tuned for all the action from Estadio Francisco Morazán.
