Concacaf League Week Six Wrap-Up

We're getting down to the nitty gritty now; after this week's fixtures only four teams are left standing in the fight for continental glory. The end of the week six also signaled the end of the Champions League qualifying period, and the following sides have progressed to the region's biggest stage in 2020: Alianza (SLV), Saprissa (CRC), Motagua (HON), Olimpia, (HON), San Carlos (CRC), and Comunicaciones (GUA).

The semifinals will be in late October. Here are the highlights from the quarterfinal second legs:

Motagua 0-0 Waterhouse (2-0 aggregate)

A scoreless draw was enough for Motagua to advance to the next round, but Waterhouse have to be pleased with their run this year. Knocked off the mighty Herediano and nearly made it to the Champions League.

Independiente 0-1 Saprissa (2-4 aggregate)

Independiente couldn't make anything of their two away goals from the first leg while Johan Venegas snagged his sixth tally of the competition. A disappointing tournament for CAI after the great CCL run, while Saprissa continue to do what Saprissa do.

San Carlos 1-0 Alianza (1-2 aggregate)

Great defending from Alianza saw them hold on late to defeat the Costa Rican champions and qualify to the Concacaf Champions League yet again. They've now got three straight series wins to go along with their stellar domestic campaign.

Comunicaciones 0-0 Olimpia (0-2 aggregate)

Comunicaciones fall to a really strong Olimpia side without scoring a goal, but they did enough to qualify for the CCL, not bad considering they started in the preliminary round.
