Puerto Rico FC's bid to qualify for the 2017-18 CONCACAF Champions League was over before it even kicked off its last game in Group D of the 2017 Caribbean Football Union Club Championship. Prior to PRFC's match against Scholars International on March 18, Portmore United beat SV Transvaal, 6-1, to clinch top spot in the group and qualification for the final round of the competition.
PRFC took out its frustrations on Cayman Islands' Scholars International, registering a 4-0 win.
But the NASL team's loss to Portmore on March 16 had seemed likely to settle the question of which team would win the group - and proved to be the case.
