We almost got an almighty upset in the first game of Wednesday night's CONCACAF Champions League doubleheader. Herediano was two minutes (plus stoppage time) away from stunning Mexico's Club León on its own field, but Mauro Boselli rescused the home team with an 89th-minute equalizer.

In the nightcap, Carlos Ruiz - yes, there he was again - gave Municipal an early lead against another Mexican club, Pachuca, in Guatemala City. But the four-time CONCACAF kings struck back with a vengeance, scoring four straight goals en route to a 7-3 final score.

Here are the highlights.

Club León: Mauro Boselli 89'
Herediano: Francisco Calvo 65'

Municipal (Guatemala) vs. Pachuca (Mexico)

Municipal: Carlos Ruiz 13', Diego de Souza 49', Carlos Ruiz (PK) 75')
Pachuca: Avilés Hurtado 16', Abraham Carreño 20', Ariel Nahuelpán (PK) 39', Abraham Carreño 45 +1', Érick Gutiérrez 58', Abraham Carreño 81', Ariel Nahuelpán 90 +1'
