77	J. Arreola for L. Bradley 84'

Minute		Description
90' +4		Pineda blows the whistle and that's all she wrote. Pumas claim victory and go top of Group D early on.
90' +3		Free kick to Pumas at midfield as they look to run out the clock.
90'		Pumas continue to control, and Comunicaciones continue to defend and clear their lines in keeping with the common theme of the second half of play. Three minutes to be added on by Pineda.
88'		Comunicaciones continue playing with 10 men as they have used their allotment of substitutes.
86'		A bit of a delay in the action as Enriquez is taken off the pitch for treatment.
84'		J. Arreola enters the game and replaces L. Bradley.
84'		A final attacking change for Comunicaciones as Jairo Arreola replaces the rather ineffective Luis Bradley.
83'		Good buildup for Pumas, but it ends with a distance shot that is saved by Guerra.
81'		E. Velarde enters the game and replaces J. Chiapas.
81'		Pumas make their final change as Efraín Velarde replaces Chiapas.
80'		Final ten minutes in Mexico City. The match is firmly in control of Pumas here.
78'		Second change for Comunicaciones as striker Héctor de Mata replaces Orellana.

Minute		Description
77'		H. Mata enters the game and replaces J. Orellana.
75'		So nearly the second for Pumas. Guerra comes out of his goal to track down a ball, but it is crossed in by Rojas toward Cortés. Cortés, though, can't quite get to it with the net gaping, and he has to be taken off for treatment.
71'		Luis Fuentes scores for Pumas! A great outswinging corner by the left-footed Chiapas finds Fuentes at the near post, and the influential player turns it in across the goal inside the far post of Guerra. It's the opener Pumas deserve after a great spell.
70'		L. Fuentes has scored a goal for Pumas! Assist by J. Chiapas.
69'		Cross in from the right by Montepeque is headed clear by Verón. Guatemalans haven't had much in the way of an attack thus far in the second half.
68'		M. Soto gets yellow.
68'		Just after coming on, Soto is booked for a harsh foul in the center of the pitch.
67'		A fantastic defensive header by Diaz in a dangerous spot as Chiapas' chipped ball was very near to Rodriguez. Corner to Pumas which is cleared.
66'		Manuel Soto enters the game, replacing Isidro Candia.
65'		M. Soto enters the game and replaces I. Candia.
65'		Change coming soon by Comunicaciones manager Julio César González.
63'		Pumas hit the crossbar with a mad scramble in the area. A ball popped into the air in the central of the area, but it hit the crossbar after deflecting off the leg of Comunicaciones' Castillo.
62'		Montepeque manages to squeak into the Pumas area on the right, but his angled effort goes right into the hands of Patiño.
60'		A. Rodriguez enters the game and replaces C. Orrantía.
60'		Pumas make their second change of the match with Arturo Rodriguez replacing Orrantia.
57'		The last several minutes have been played exclusively in the Pumas attacking third of the pitch, but Comunicaciones are holding the hosts at bay for the moment. Pumas have to settle for a long, speculative shot by Cabrera that sails well over the top.
54'		Cabrera comes up from the back and fires on goal from over 25 yards out, but it sails over the goal without troubling Guerra.
52'		The corner finds Cabrera, whose shot is cleared for another corner. That corner is headed right on target, but Guerra is able to punch away. Great spell there by the Mexicans.
51'		Best chance so far for either side as Fuentes has a near-post effort saved well by Guerra, conceding a corner.
50'		Ricardo Ferretti apparently gave Pumas a good talk in the dressing room as they appear to have a bit of extra fire here in the opening stages of the second half.
47'		Rojas with a great shot from the top of the area, but it sails just barely wide of the left post of Guerra.
46'		F. Santana enters the game and replaces E. Gamez.
46'		Second half is underway with Santana replacing Gamez for Pumas.
45' +3		After a mad scramble, and some added stoppage, Pineda blows the whistle for half-time with the match still nodded at 0-0.
45' +2		Free kick awarded to Pumas 30 yards out after Diaz gets a boot to Chiapas. The effort, though, goes out for a corner.
45'		One minute to be added on here.
44'		Second corner of the match for Comunicaciones taken by Candia, but the ball is cleared to safety by Pumas.
42'		Best chance of the match thus far for the Guatemalans as a ball comes into the center for Fonseca, who manuevers through the Pumas defense, but can't get a shot off to challenge Patiño.
41'		E. Gamez gets yellow.
41'		The corner by Chiapas is a good one, and Comunicaciones get a touch on it and send it out for another corner. On the second, Guerra nearly makes a mess of it by missing the ball on his first attempt, but Gamez is whistled for an infraction and is booked for his trouble.
40'		Great cross from the right by the dangerous Juárez, but no one is able to get on the other end of it at the far post. Pumas do win a corner, however.
39'		Gamez goes down in a heap at the top of the area, but Pineda has none of it and waves play on.
36'		Patiño gets his first touch in nearly 20 minutes as Gallardo's ball is weighted too heavily for Fonseca.
34'		A rare spell of posession for Comunicaciones, but a bad touch sees the ball go out for a Pumas throw.
31'		Chiapas with a corner into the center of the area, but again Guerra deals with the set piece wonderfully and Comunicaciones clear their lines. Pumas have gained a firm hold on possession in the last 15 minutes.
29'		Cortés turns and fires a right-footed shot for the near post, but his effort is wide of the target.
25'		Corner taken by Orrantia, but Pineda finds a reason to use his whistle as Comunicaciones goalkeeper Guerra is felled in the area. Free kick to the visitors.
24'		Rojas with a header from the top of the area, but there is not enough pace on it to trouble David Guerra.
22'		Nearly 22 minutes have been played, and Pineda has only blown his whistle one time for a foul. Very clean game being played in Mexico City at the moment.
20'		Most dangerous play of the match thus far as Pumas' Cortés crosses one through the area toward Luis Fuentes, but Fredy Thompson is able to steer it behind for a corner.
15'		Both sides are showing tremendous speed down the sides of the pitch, but the teams are just trading possession after the first 15 minutes.
12'		Comunicaciones look particularly dangerous down the left flank, but the central defenders of Pumas are clearing everything coming their way.
9'		A dangerous cross by Juárez to the top of the area finds Rojas, but the Pumas midfielder can only scuff it wide.
8'		Comunicaciones captain, and Costa Rican veteran Rolando Fonseca fires in a bullet from distance, but Pumas goalkeeper Patiño is up to the task.
5'		Montepeque's pace down the left side earns the first corner of the match for Comunicaciones, but the set piece is easily dealt with by the Pumas defense.
3'		Gamez takes a crack at goal from 30 yards out, but the speculative effort sails high.
1'		Pineda blows his whistle and the Guatemalans get the match underway.
		Welcome to Mexico City for a Group D tie in the 2009-10 CONCACAF Champions League as Mexican side Pumas play host to Guatemala's CSD Comunicaciones. Very mild skies with some clouds hover over Estadio Olímpico Universitario for the opening fixture of this group, which will be officiated by Honduras' José Pineda.
