NEW YORK CITY, CMC – Trinidad & Tobago Pro League club Joe Public slinked-out of contention in the CONCACAF Champions League on Wednesday, but the Puerto Rico Islanders fortified their hopes of reaching the next stage.
Joe Public were crushed, when Santos of Mexico trampled them 5-1 in a Group-B match at the Corona Stadium, and a pair of goals from David Horst lifted the Puerto Rico Islanders to a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over Toluca of Mexico at Juan Ramón Loubriel Stadium.
In Torreon, Mexico, another abysmal performance from Joe Public left them nursing their egos, after the victory improved Santos to 10 points in five games.
The defeat left Joe Public on one point and with no chance of advancing to the quarter-finals of the region’s leading club competition.
