CONCACAF Watch: All to play for in CONCACAF Champions League final

With Montreal hosting the final leg but Club America at full strength, Wednesday's CONCACAF Champions League final is anyone's to win, writes Jon Arnold.

For the fourth time in the seven finals played in the CONCACAF Champions League era, the two finalists head into the second leg tied.

A first-half goal from Ignacio Piatti gave the Montreal Impact the upper hand in the first leg until Oribe Peralta gave Club America a much-needed equalizer and put himself on the top of the competition's goalscorer list with an 89th-minute equalizer.

The 1-1 result in the first leg means the tie is anyone's to win with both clubs eager to win the confederation's top prize and earn the right to represent CONCACAF at the Club World Cup this winter.
