Andre Blake made three saves and the Philadelphia Union battled Pachuca to a 0-0 draw in the first leg of a CONCACAF Champions Cup round-of-16 series on Tuesday night in Chester, Pa.
Blake’s final save came in the center of the box during second-half stoppage time to preserve the tie. The clubs will meet for the second leg of the two-match, total-goal series on March 12 in Pachua, Mexico.
Pachuca outshot Philadelphia 18-5 overall, but both sides managed to put just three on target. Carlos Moreno made three saves for a clean sheet for Pachuca.
Daniel Gazdag had the best chance for the Union in the second half after Moreno made a stop. The rebound rolled to Gazdag as he ran into the box, but his chip shot over the diving goalkeeper went over the bar by mere feet.
