The Black-and-Red were very much in the game and in the series until Edgar Benitez's 83rd minute goal. Now they must go back home and overturn a two goal deficit.
With 70 minutes on the clock Tuesday night at Estadio Corregidora, proceedings looked just peachy for D.C. United in their first leg tilt against Queretaro in CONCACAF Champions League play. Yes, United had been been denied a goal or two by the crossbar and some strong goalkeeping, but with the score at 0-0 that outcome would have been just fine heading back to the District.
Even a minute later, when Yerson Candelo lashed in a goal from 20 yards out, the Black-and-Red seemed in decent shape.
