GUATEMALA CITY - Charles Cordoba scored in the 88th minute to give CD Heredia a 1-0 win over a 10-man Montreal Impact on Wednesday in CONCACAF Champions League play. Montreal was down to 10 players when central defender Adrian (Piscu) Lopez was shown a straight red card at the 44th minute. After nearly 45 minutes of scoreless play, Heredia was awarded a corner. Cordoba lunged to get a foot on the ball in the six-yard box, poking the ball past Impact goalkeeper Evan Bush, who had given up a short rebound. "With five minutes left we were going to take a point. Its tough to swallow, especially to give up a goal on a set piece," said Montreal midfielder Davy Arnaud. "The red card changed the game completely." The teams were tied 0-0 after the first half. Although Montreal had a slight edge on possession — 50.3 per cent to Heredias 49.7 per cent — the Guatemalan side dominated play with two shots on target. Head referee Paul Delgadillo pointed to the penalty spot in the 19th minute, but Cordobas attempt for Heredia hit the crossbar. Three minutes later, a low blast from 30 yards out by Heredias David Espinoza skipped off the turf and changed direction on Bush, but he kicked out his feet to make the stop. More damaging to the Impact was Lopezs red card. "Its frustrating to lose a game like this when you put a 90-minute effort," said defender Jeb Brovsky. "Playing down a man was not easy but we knew it was not going to be easy with 11 players. And giving up a goal like that its tough." Montreal had a great chance to take a 1-0 lead at the 72nd minute when forward Daniele Paploni found midfielder Blake Smith at the top of the penalty box. A clever flick of the ball over the Heredia defender put Smith in an excellent position to score, but he bounced the ball off the crossbar. "We were organized in the second half and dealt with the situation we were in pretty well," said Arnaud. "We even got a good scoring chance." The Impact were missing some key players. Marco Di Vaio, who scored both goals in Montreals 2-1 win over D.C. United in Major League Soccer action Saturday, did not travel with the team. Veteran defender Alessandro Nesta and midfielder Patrice Bernier also stayed behind with the Impact facing a stretch of three games in eight days. Montreal sits second in Group 5 of the CONCACAF Champions League with three points after a win and a loss. Heredia is first with one win, while the San Jose Earthquakes are last with a loss. The Impact will play their remaining CONCACAF Champions League matches on Sept. 17 in San Jose, Calif., before hosting CD Heredia on Sept. 24.Erik Gudbranson Jersey .

Lukas Krajicek Jersey . -- The plastic that was taped across the lockers in Oaklands clubhouse came down and the champagne that was on ice went back into the cooler.NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A two-game skid has whittled away any margin for error the Green Bay Packers had in the NFC North, and now they hit the road for three straight games starting in Tennessee.Its a crucial moment for a franchise that has reached the playoffs each of the past seven seasons.Every game from this point forward in November and December are very important games for us, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. Tough stretch right now with three on the road back-to-back-to-back, but weve just got to take it one at a time and figure out a way to put a better performance on the field on Sunday.This marks Green Bays first three-game road trip since 2012 , and the timing couldnt be worse for a franchise that has lost three of four by a combined nine points. The tight losses have stuck Green Bay (4-4) behind both Minnesota and Detroit in the NFC North after being stunned 31-26 at Lambeau Field by Indianapolis last week.The Titans (4-5) find themselves trying to keep pace in the AFC South. They need one more win to match the victory total for the past two seasons combined and are coming off a 43-35 loss in San Diego , where Marcus Mariota outdueled Phillip Rivers by throwing for 313 yards and three touchdowns while running for another score.The second-year quarterback also cost Tennessee 17 points off three turnovers, and Mariota knows he has to protect the ball better.Weve continued to preach finishing some of these games, but you know what, thats part of it, Mariota said. Thats part of how we have to learn, how were going to get better. Eventually, well turn these around and be on the right side of these things.Here are some things to know about the Packers and Titans:ENERGIZED PACK?: Coach Mike McCarthy says his Packers energy level wont be an issue in Tennessee. Like the presidential election, energy became a buzzword immediately after last weeks loss to Indianapolis after the Packers looked lethargic early. But McCarthy says it was more an issue about not being detailed and consistent enough in adverse situations. Whatever the root of the issues, Green Bay doesnt want to spend the whole game again playing catch-up.PROTECT THE BALL: Turnovers have been the Titans biggest issue in losses this season, something Mariota had improved on in helping Tennessee win three of four in October.dddddddddddd Over his past three games at home, Mariota has thrown seven touchdowns with only one interception. Even with two interceptions in San Diego, Mariota ranks fourth in the NFL with a 111.8 passer rating over the past five games.Rodgers says hes been a fan of Mariota since the fellow Pac-12 quarterback was at Oregon. He can do it all on the field, Rodgers said. Hes extremely gifted athletically, and hes doing a good job of throwing it efficiently. Im definitely impressed with him with the way he comes off and the way hes playing.TO THE QB: The Packers pass rush has slowed down the last few games. Green Bay managed to sack Andrew Luck just twice last week despite the Colts porous offensive line. The front seven has been missing linebacker Clay Matthews the last couple weeks because of a sore hamstring, and its unclear when he might return.Mariota is less experienced than Luck, though he can be just as elusive. Tennessee has allowed Mariota to be sacked only 12 times this season and not at all the past two games, a huge improvement from last year, when the Titans surrendered a league-worst 54 sacks.RUN TEST: DeMarco Murray is second in the NFL with 807 yards rushing, and the Titans rank third in the NFL, averaging 144.2 yards per game. That will be seriously tested against Green Bay, the leagues stingiest run defense. The Packers are allowing 75.8 yards per game, and Tennessee could be without Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry. Murrays backup strained his calf last week.WATCH RODGERS: With Eddie Lacy recovering from ankle surgery and on injured reserve, Rodgers is carrying the load as Green Bays leading rusher. The two-time MVP is averaging 5.9 yards per carry and his 199 yards rushing are second only to Lacy. But Titans coach Mike Mularkey said Green Bay has been very creative, finding ways to run with a variety of players such as Ty Montgomery.---AP Sports Writer Genaro C.
