The Red Bulls are now five points clear atop Group F, closing in on a quarter-final spot.

A Victor Moncada brace helped Honduras Progreso to a surprise 2-1 win over Pumas UNAM.

Alfonso Nieto had put the Mexicans on track for victory in San Pedro Sula, but they conceded twice in the second half.

Moncada levelled just before the hour-mark and then struck a 91st-minute winner.
