Seattle Sounders FC maintained a perfect record in the CONCACAF Champions League group stages with a 2-1 away win over Costa Rica's Herediano.
Fredy Montero scored both goals for the MLS outfit, the first coming in the third minute. Herediano equalized through a José Cancela penalty to keep things even going into the break.
In the second half, Roger Levesque, who had conceded the penalty, hit a stinging shot that eventually fell to Montero to prod home. The Colombian striker now has four goals in three matches in all competitions.
"Last year we were disappointed in our performance in Champions League, maybe even a little bit embarrassed. It was definitely a goal we had set for ourselves that we wanted to get better as we came back into it," said Sounders FC coach Sigi Schmid. "I'm very proud of what we have done."
With nine points in three games, Seattle tops Group D of the CCL. Herediano has yet to earn a point.
