The ball fell to Antuna wide open racing in from the right side. Antuna went in one-on-one with Montreal goalie Sebastian Breza and fired home a 12-yard shot.

The visitors never put a shot on target against Cruz Azul goalie Jose Corona, while Breza was credited with one save.

The series' second leg is scheduled for March 16 in Montreal.
