Both American clubs played as hosts during the first leg of their respective two-legged affairs. The Sounders, on the strength of a Fredy Montero goal in the 60th minute, won their home leg 1\u20130.[19] Los Angeles, however, holders of the best record in Major League Soccer at the time of their matchup, were defeated 4\u20131 at the Home Depot Center.[20] The Islanders scored two goals in each half before the Galaxy got a consolation own goal by Richard Martinez in the 83rd minute. In the return leg in Bayam\u00f3n, Los Angeles, needing to win by at least three goals to force penalties, gave up the first goal of the match.

The Crew hosted Municipal in their first match and won 1\u20130, the goal scored on a strong individual effort by Emmanuel Ekpo.[25] In their second match, Columbus nearly held on for a scoreless draw but were defeated 1\u20130 at Santos Laguna when Jorge Iv\u00e1n Estrada scored in the third minute of second half added time.[26]Seattle was drawn into Group C with Mexican club Monterrey, 2009\u201310 Apertura champions; Costa Rican club Saprissa, 2009\u201310 Primera Divisi\u00f3n Campeonato de Verano champions; and Honduran club Marath\u00f3n, 2009\u201310 Liga Nacional Torneo Apertura champions.
