Colorado Rapids 0-2 Santos Laguna: Santos tops Group B in CONCACAF Champions League
Colorado's continued participation in the CCL now lies in the hand's of others after a 2-0 loss in Mexico.
By Zac Lee Rigg
Santos Laguna beat the Colorado Rapids 2-0 at home to finish atop Group B in the CONCACAF Champions League.
The Rapids can still advance depending on the result in the final game in the group. A draw between Isidro Metapán and Real España on Thursday will send Colorado through to the quarterfinal stage.
Both of Santos' goals came in the second half. Aaron Galindo hit a bouncing volley from the top of the box in the 55th minute to open the scoring.
Jesus Escoboza hit a stunning volley from between two defenders 12 minutes later to seal the match.
Despite prodding by Sanna Nyassi in the late going, Colorado could not respond.
