Honduran club Marathon defeated Mexico's UNAM Pumas 2-0 on Wednesday in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal.

In the other quarterfinal first leg, Comunicaciones of Guatemala secured a 1-1 home draw against Mexico's Pachuca.

Marathon forward Walter Martinez scored a 17th minute penalty, and Carlos Will Mejia also scored from the spot in the 52nd.

Pumas, winners of three straight games in Mexico's Clausura tournament, rested five regulars starters ahead of their match against league-leading Guadalajara Chivas this weekend.

In Guatemala City, Paul Aguilar gave Pachuca a 1-0 lead in the opening minute before Comunicaciones' Rolando Fonseca equalized in the 72nd. A draw was an improvement for Pachuca, which has lost its past two league matches by identical 3-0 scores.

In another quarterfinal first leg on Tuesday, Columbus Crew was held 2-2 by Mexico's Toluca. On Thursday, Mexico's Cruz Azul plays at Arabe Unido in Panama.
