HOUSTON (AP):
AARON PADILLA scored the go-ahead goal midway through the second half yesterday to help Club America of Mexico City defeat Jamaica's Portmore United 2-1 in a CONCACAF Champions Cup first-leg quarter-final.
After America and Portmore ended the first half 0-0, Remeel Wolfe took a cross from Omar Daley and converted his header in the 52nd to give the Jamaicans the lead.
PENALTY KICK
Club America tied it up in the 60th after Portmore's Demar Stewart was charged with a foul against Zepeda in front of the goal. Christian Gimenez made the penalty kick.
Padilla gave America the win on an easy kick from the left in the 73rd minute, after Miguel Zepeda drew the goalkeeper out of position.
In Wednesday's other quarter-finals, Toluca of Mexico beat Olimpia of Honduras 2-0 and two-time winners Alajuelense of Costa Rica held America's New England Revolution to 0-0.
