SuperLiga: Khano on the spot

JULY 16
Pachuca 0-1 New England (Gillette Stadium)
New England's Khano Smith was first to declare, "The kick is mine." He strode forward and calmly converted the game's only goal, a penalty awarded in injury time for a handball in the box. The Revs took the full three points and guaranteed themselves a place in the semifinals of SuperLiga. After 90-plus minutes of scoreless soccer, injury time was extended nearly nine minutes after Pat Phelan went down in the 91st minute and was carted off the field in a neck brace. It was determined that he had a concussion, but they took the defender to a hospital for observation to be sure.

Santos 0-1 Chivas USA (HDC)
Halftime substitute Ante Razov was the hero for Chivas in this one, scoring the game's only goal in the 73rd minute. In order to advance, Chivas USA will have to fare better against New England than Pachuca fare against Santos in the final games of Group B.
