On Wednesday, La Liga (The Alajuela team) wrapped up the UNCAF (Central American) Championship with a win in the penalty tiebreaker over Olimpia of Honduras.  Alajuela had won the match in Honduras 1-0, and the Hondurans returned the favor here.  But Alajuela won the crown in a dramatic penalty shoot out. 

Much the same script was written in the consolation match between Saprissa and Perez Zeledon.  Saprissa won at home 2-0, then gave up a 2-0 defeat to the Warriors of the South, then won in the penalty tiebreaker.  Saprissa won the right to go on to the CONCACAF tourney as the 3 rd place team in this matchup, while the lions (Olimpia and Alajuela) had already qualified by the virtue of getting to the championship match.
