Minute		Description
90' +2		And it's all over. Pachuca go top of Group A on nine points with another dominant performance.
90'		Nearly five for Pachuca as Benítez fires across the face of from close range. Mendivil was lurking at the far post as well.
89'		Free kick near midfield given to Metapán.
87'		Pachuca still pressing with only a few minutes left to go in El Salvador. Giménez, who has been fairly quiet since coming on, takes a shot from the top of the area, but drags it wide.
85'		Brambila bids for his second of the match, but his shot goes over the top from 25 yards out.
84'		Another great performance here by Pachuca, as the Salvadorans have yet to come up with a solution for them.
82'		U. Mendivil has scored a goal for Pachuca! Assist by E. Brambila.
82'		Goal Pachuca! Mendivil with his second of the match and seventh of the tournament. Brambila swings in a perfect free kick from the left, and Mendivil heads home from the center of the area.
81'		Alvarado concedes a corner to Pachuca while defender Benítez in the left corner. Shortly after, Escobar is taken off, replaced by William Figueroa.
80'		W. Figueroa enters the game and replaces Á. Escobar.
79'		Flores has a crack at it for Metapán from the top of the area, but he falls as he shoots it, sending the ball well over the top.

Minute		Description
78'		Time running out for Metapán to grab a goal back here at Estadio Jorge "El Calero" Suárez. In four group matches thus far, Metapán have yet to score a goal, while conceding 10.
76'		In the other game in Group A, Houston Dynamo lead Árabe Unido 4-1. That, combined with this result - if it holds - would send Pachuca top of the group.
75'		Foul by Brambila in midfield against Jiménez gives Metapán a free kick.
73'		E. Iraheta enters the game and replaces J. Morán.
73'		And here comes Iraheta to replace Moran, who had some brilliant moments on the right flank.
72'		Ernesto Iraheta is warming on the sidelines for Metapán. He would add some pace down the flank for the Salvadorans.
71'		Pachuca, much like a week ago, are in complete control of this match. But Metapán are going to press hard in these last 20 minutes to get on the scoreboard to avoid the two-match whitewash.
70'		Awkward shot by Giménez manages to curl on target, but Alfaro catches.
69'		Corner from Caballero on the right is headed behind by Mejía. Let's do it again.
68'		Christian Giménez comes on as Pachuca's final sub, replacing Jaime Correa. An attacking sub if you can believe it.
67'		C. Giménez enters the game and replaces J. Correa.
66'		So nearly the fourth for Pachuca as Rojas blasts a 25-yarder just inches over the top. It apparently was touched over by Alfaro. Corner to Pachuca.
64'		Caballero goes into the book for Pachuca.
63'		G. Caballero gets yellow.
63'		Flores takes the outswinger, but all it does is spark a Pachuca counter. Benítez races forward after being played in by Brambila, but it is touched away for a corner.
62'		Corner kick to Metapán, won by Flores.
61'		Calero makes a save at the other end. A turning shot by Mejía lacks a lot of power, but it requires a slight touch from the keeper to keep it out.
60'		E. Benítez has scored a goal for Pachuca! Assist by J. Rojas.
60'		Goal Pachuca! Substitute Benítez is in the right spot at the right time to tuck home after a shot by Rojas came off the bar.
59'		Corner won by Pachuca's Benítez, but again it is punched away by Alfaro.
57'		Free kick from the left taken by Pachuca is punched clear by Alfaro. Thirty seconds later, Caballero sends in a cross from the right, but Alfaro is able to gather. The Metapán goalkeeper is a busy man at the moment.
55'		G. Caballero enters the game and replaces P. Aguilar.
55'		Second sub for Pachuca as Paul Aguilar is withdrawn for Gabriel Caballero.
54'		J. Correa gets yellow.
54'		The goalkeeper Alfaro attempts his best José Luis Chilavert impression, coming forward to take the set piece. But the goalkeeper's effort goes a bit high of the target.
53'		Free kick for Metapán about 25 yards out in the center of the pitch.
52'		Foul deep in the Metapán penalty area as Escobar is hauled down by the substitute Benítez.
51'		The set piece is taken short, but Canales can only fire it wide at the near post.
50'		Corner for Metapán.
49'		Much like the first half, Metapán are starting out as the controlling side.
48'		Cross in from the right by Metapán is taken easily by Calero.
47'		Metapán will need a dramatic fightback in order to get a result here. They are yet to earn a point in Group A, and their chances to advance are quite slim.
46'		E. Benítez enters the game and replaces D. Álvarez.
		R. Valdez enters the game and replaces E. Umaña.
		The second half gets under way, and both sides make changes. For Pachuca, Edgar Benítez replaces Álvarez. For Metapán, Emerson Umaña is withdrawn for Ramón Valdez.
45' +2		There's the half-time whistle, and Pachuca continue to dominate Metapán with a 2-0 lead.
45' +1		Paul Aguilar hops on his bike for a dramatic effort from the top of the area, but it has no power on it.
45'		Fourth official Elmer Bonilla indicates one more minute to be played.
44'		A yellow this time for Pachuca as Montes is in the book.
43'		L. Montes gets yellow.
42'		Alfaro is called into action as Brambila makes a bid for his second, but the goalkeeper is up to the task. Brambila, who is starting in place of Juan Carlos Cacho, has been superb thus far.
41'		And another yellow for Metapán as Ernesto Aquino comes through the back of goalscorer Brambila. Easy decision by referee Moncada.
40'		E. Aquino gets yellow.
40'		Best chance thus far for Metapán. Free kick swung in from the right by Alvarado falls into the center of the area, but it's just a bit too hard for anyone to get on the end, and it goes wide. Several players in the area that could have gotten to it had it been slightly better-placed.
39'		Rojas, who has been all over the pitch, now is alone in the center. He decides to have a speculative crack at goal from 35 yards, but it swerves well away from the target.
37'		First yellow of the match and it is against Mario Aguilar of Metapán for a studs-up challenge against his namesake, Pachuca's Paul Aguilar.
36'		M. Aguilar gets yellow.
36'		A stunner that Brambila was allowed to be unmarked in the area just a few yards from goal, but credit to Rojas for a wonderful service.
35'		E. Brambila has scored a goal for Pachuca! Assist by J. Rojas.
35'		Goal Pachuca! It's Brambila this time with an easy headed finish as he is picked out wide open in the area by Rojas' right-wing cross. 2-0 to the visitors.
33'		Foul against Metapán 35 yards out as Flores hauls down Correa. The free kick by Álvarez, however, is well off the mark and easily cleared.
32'		But the corner by Montes goes straight into the arms of a waiting Alfaro.
31'		Corner to Pachuca, won by Brambila.
30'		Moran does well for a minute to elude Pachuca defenders, but he is rather easily dispossed by Rodríguez. At the other end, Canales is once again judged to be offside.
29'		Nothing comes of the chance, however.
28'		Canales wins a corner for Metapán after being fed through nicely by Jiménez.
27'		Pachuca are content to make short passes and do anything they can to keep Metapán off the ball.

22'		Canales wins a throw-in deep in the Pachuca half after playing it off of Leonardo López.
20'		Great battle in the Metapán attacking third as Javier Múñoz fights with Andrés Flores, but the Pachuca defender Múñoz wins the battle of strength and clears.
19'		Shot from distance by Montes is ambitious and sails over the top. Goal kick for Alfaro.
17'		Another offside for Metapán as Umaña is sought racing down the left.
15'		The game has settled a bit, but Pachuca are now enjoying the best of the possess...as I say it, Jorge Moran breaks down the left for Metapán, but his cross is off the mark, and Miguel Calero gathers.
13'		Metapán's supporters - of which there are a great number in attendance - appear shocked at the goal, but the drums are still beating in support.
12'		Long ball forward for Canales, but the whistle goes for offside.
11'		That goal has come slightly against the run of play. But it's six unanswered by Pachuca against Metapán.
10'		U. Mendivil has scored a goal for Pachuca!
10'		Goal for Pachuca and it's Mendivil with his sixth of the competition! A shot from Luis Montes deflects unfortunately off Alexander Escobar right into the path of Mendivil, who makes no mistake.
9'		Ulises Mendivil, the leading scorer in this year's tournament, sends a shot well over the top after being served with a pass by Brambila. Chance wasted for Pachuca.
7'		Metapán starting much better in this one than they did in Mexico a week ago.
6'		Shot from Anel Canales sails over the top for Metapán.
4'		Goalkeeper Alfaro of Metapán is down after sliding to take the ball.
2'		Early foul as Edy Brambila of Pachuca is whistled for the infraction.
1'		Honduran referee Oscar Moncada gets the match under way!
		Isidro Metapán look for their first points of the 2009/10 CONCACAF Champions League on Tuesday night when they play host to Mexican side Pachuca in El Salvador. The weather is very mild and very humid under cloudy skies, but it appears the weather won't affect play too much in this one. Metapán will be hoping this match goes better than their last, when Pachuca thrashed them 5-0.
