SEATTLE (AP) -- Neri Cardozo headed a shot past goalkeeper Kasey Keller late in the first half, then set up Aldo de Nigris' goal early in the second half as CF Monterrey of Mexico beat the Seattle Sounders in a CONCACAF Champions League game on Wednesday night, 2-0.
The victory kept Monterrey undefeated with the full six points in Group C play and left the Sounders still looking for their first point.
Jesus Zavala sent a long target ball into the penalty area that Keller came off his line to play. Keller got a hand to it, but it went right to Cardozo, whose header went into the right side of a wide-open net late in the 41st minute.
Monterrey made it 2-0 in the 58th minute when de Nigris blasted past a diving Keller from eight yards away.
