Brazilian champions Botafogo hung on for a 2-1 win at a determined Seattle Sounders. The Copa Libertadores holders took the lead in the 28th minute when Jair Cunha rose superbly to head in a cross curled in at pace by Alex Telles.

Igor Jesus doubled the advantage on the stroke of half-time with a bullet header. It was a different story after the break.

The Sounders dominated possession and put Botafogo's defence under intense pressure, pulling a goal back through a deflected Cristian Roldan header.

Seattle pushed forward in search of the equaliser but some desperate defending and fine goalkeeping from John saw the Brazilian club over the line.

Palmeiras drew 0-0 with Portuguese giants Porto in Group A at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
