Real Salt Lake 0 - 1 Monterrey (2 - 3 agg) (CONCACAF Champions League Final)

Major League Soccer (MLS) side Real Salt Lake have fallen at the final hurdle and seen their 37 game unbeaten streak ended by Mexican outfit Monterrey 1 - 0 at Rio Tinto Stadium in the CONCACAF Champions League final.

After both teams drew 2 - 2 in the first leg, there was all to do for both teams as they fought to be crowned champions of North American football and securing a berth in the next edition of the FIFA Club World Cup


All it took was a lone goal by Chilean international Humberto Suazo in the 46th minute to secure the win for the defending Mexican league champions, making it 3 - 2 on overall aggregate.

Despite enjoying a strong start to the match, Real Salt Lake failed to maximize their chances particularly through Argentine forward Fabian Espindola.

A late surge in attack by Javier Morales and Jamison Olave (both of Real Salt Lake) wasn't enough for the Monarcas as Monterrey ended their attempt to become the first MLS side to take home the CONCACAF Champions League title and entry into the FIFA Club World Cup.

A Beckham return to England, if Tottenham get their way

Tottenham Hotspurs have made a bid to loan out former England captain and Manchester United midfielder David Beckham from LA Galaxy this January. Beckham was keen on playing in England once more and may soon get the chance to do so.

The loan deal would see the superstar play with Tottenham for the rest of the season provided that he return to Galaxy at the conclusion of the contract. Although fans qre not to sure of the move considering that Beckham will be competing against the likes of Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon for a starting position. However with a busy schedule coming up for Tottenham including Champions League fixtures, Cup matches and League ties, fatigue may prove a challenge that they have to deal with.

Galaxy have already loaned Beckham to Ac Milan in previous seasons and would be willing to complete the Tottenham deal for the right sum of money.
