Costa Rican heavyweight Saprissa went to Portland, took the lead in the first half, and held on after Jack McInerney equalized for the Timbers. The 1-1 draw sends Saprissa through to the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals.
Former New York Red Bulls' defender Roy Miller is on Saprissa's roster this season and started the match. If he's still a regular starter for the Costa Rican club in February, he should feature in the 2016-17 CCL quarterfinals.
Pachuca's trip to Honduras produced some drama, and not just because the lights in the stadium went out for a while.
