A goalless draw in Puerto Rico last night in the second leg of a two-game preliminary round in the CONCACAF Champions League gave the Islanders a 1-0 win on aggregate.
TFC, which advanced into the competition by winning the Canadian championship, dominated the second half of the game but couldn't get the ball past goalkeeper Bill Gaudette, who picked up his seventh straight shutout for Puerto Rico.

After losing to Puerto Rico 1-0 at home last week in the first leg of the two-match playoff, Toronto needed to win by at least that same score Tuesday to stay alive.

Booted off the Island
Ryan Johnston
Toronto FC never worked very hard to win the Nutrilite Canadian Championship and in the two additional games earned by doing so it never worked very hard to prove it belonged. Which is why it is with an apathetic tone that I write the first-ever CONCACAF Champions League obit.

I pretty much agree with Ryan's article.

Although right now, I am not seeing much hope in the way of MLS playoffs.

Same here...
we didn't deserve to be in the Champions League and it showed... didn't show like we played well enough to be there.

For real, that ref was awful.

It's a little annoying that Gareth Wheeler gets it and other people don't.
