Impact earn 1-1 draw vs. Club America in 1st leg of Champions League final at Azteca
Montreal's miraculous run continues.
The Impact drew Club America 1-1 in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League final at Estadio Azteca on Wednesday night.
Montreal opened the scoring in the 16th minute, when Ignacio Piatti found the back of the net. The Impact almost held on for what would have been a stunning victory, but Oribe Peralta tied the game in the 89th minute.
Club America dominated the game, outshooting the Impact 28-4 (and 9-2 on target). They had the ball all night, but were unable to finish, and even had a 16-3 advantage on corners.
Nonetheless, Montreal heads home with an all-important away goal, a draw an extremely impressive result in one of the most intimidating stadiums to play in in North America.
Montreal's draw at Azteca is the 5th time in 24 games an MLS team has earned a point in Mexico in the CONCACAF knockout round.
