: Football Confederation Champions Cup: Pachuca at San Jose
Okay game, but I knew from the start that San Jose wasn’t going for it. They lost the away leg 3-0, so that meant they had to win the home leg 4-0 to advance. But Coach Yallop rested several of San Jose’s best players (which was fair, since they’d been playing non-stop for weeks) and I knew he’d given up. If the Quakes could have scored in the first half there’d have been a chance, but the first half finished nil-nil. San Jose did score in the second, and very late received a penalty kick call that should have made the score 2-0, but Ramiro’s penalty was blocked. So the Quakes won, 1-0, but are out of the tournament. Bummer, but good experience for their first champions cup.
