Newly acquired U.S. international Cade Cowell scored two goals and set up another Wednesday as Mexico's Chivas Guadalajara downed Forge FC 3-1 to take a commanding lead into the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup first-round series. Ricardo Marin also scored for Chivas. Terran Campbell replied for the Canadian Premier League champions before an announced crowd of 11,513 at Tim Hortons Field, where it was around 0 C at kickoff.  Forge started well but paid in the 25th minute for a Beni Badibanga giveaway in its own half. Fernando Gonzalez's no-look pass split the Forge defence and Cowell buried a left-footed shot for his first Chivas goal.

Campbell tied it up five minutes later, knocking home a perfect Tristan Borges cross in what was Forge's first real go at goal. Alessandro Hojabrpou played his part with a long-range pass that sent Borges flying down the left flank. Cowell played provider in first-half stoppage time, dodging a defender to deliver a cross aimed at two teammates unmarked in the Forge penalty box. The ball found Marin who headed it home to give the visitors a 2-1 lead. Forge was caught shot on a rapid-fire counterattack in the 63rd minute with Cowell getting behind the defence and beating goalkeeper Christopher Kalongo. Forge coach Bobby Smyrniotis liked a lot of what he saw, given his out-of-season team's lack of preparation. But he rued giving up a second goal just before halftime. "It's unfortunate. Because when you give up a goal there in injury time in the first half, it's a lot different," he said. "One minute later, if that doesn't go in, you come into the changing room and it's a different mood in the team. But that's football."
