CONCACAF at the UEFA Champions League, Matchday 1

The first matchday of the group stage is complete, so here's a summary of the CONCACAF players in the UEFA Champions League:

Rafa Márquez scored the opening goal (a header from a corner kick) in Barcelona's 3-1 victory over Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday.  He played all 90 minutes.

Carlos Vela played the last six minutes of Arsenal's 1-1 draw at Dinamo Kiev.  I don't know if he participated in the counter that led to William Gallas' equalizer.

PSV succumbed to a 3-1 away loss to Atlético Madrid (coached by former Mexico coach Javier Aguirre and inspired by a brilliant Sergio Aguero).  Carlos Salcido started and played all 90 minutes, while Francisco Rodríguez entered the match in the 74th minute.

Villarreal drew 0-0 to Manchester United (aka America's Team) at Old Trafford.  Guille Franco played 77 minutes for the Yellow Submarine and came closest to scoring when his shot hit the post on the hour mark.  Jozy Altidore didn't travel with the team because he was not listed on the squad list before the competition started.

Canadian goalkeeper Lars Hirschfeld wasn't present for the biggest result of the week as CFR Cluj defeated Roma 2-1 away.   He wasn't placed on the substitutes list for this game.
