Concacaf League Week 8 Wrap-Up

Wow, what a way to end the semifinals. It'll be Saprissa vs Motagua in the final, but we'll save that discussion for another time. These highlights are serious business.

Motagua 3-0 Alianza (4-1 aggregate)

Alianza knew they were in dire straits after a poor home showing, and Motagua was able to handle business here. A great tournament from the Salvadorans though, who now can focus on the domestic league where they're holding down first place and have a long playoff campaign ahead of them.

Saprissa 4-1 Olimpia (4-3 aggregate)

This was the best game in Concacaf League history. Saprissa needing to turn around a 2-0 deficit at home against the 2017 Champions, and when Olimpia stole an away goal in the 61st minute it felt like the series was over right there. But Marvin Angulo led a dramatic charge, scoring two of El Monstruo's three goals over the final 20 minutes + stoppage time to steal a famous win on Halloween night. David Ramirez's final goal is simply heart-stopping.
