Revolution Tie Costa Rica's
Alajuelense
The New England Revolution were
held to a 0-0 tie by Costa
Rica's Alajuelense on Wednesday
night in the first leg of the
CONCACAF Champions Cup
quarter-finals.
New England was close to scoring
on at least a half-dozen
occasions but U.S. national team
players Taylor Twellman, Clint
Dempsey and Pat Noonan could not
convert. The Costa Ricans,
two-time winners of the
tournament, sat back with as
many as 10 men behind the ball.
New England moved the game to
Bermuda because of the Boston
area's winter weather, and about
1,500 people attended the match
at the National Sports Centre.
The second leg of the
total-goals series is scheduled
for March 8 in Costa Rica.
