A few familiar long-distance foes are back in Toronto tonight, as Andre-Pierre Gignac, Eduardo Vargas, and Enner Valencia come to town to fight for the Campeones Cup. Their Tigres UANL side will be taking on Toronto FC at BMO Field for the first time since March 7, when the Reds triumphed 2-1 thanks to Jonathan Osorio’s jaw-dropping backheel winner.
We all remember how the second leg went down as well, when Tigres’ late surge wasn’t enough to stop TFC from claiming the tie on away goals. Fans in Toronto (and across MLS) will remember that moment as the first time it really seemed possible that an MLS club could make waves in the Concacaf Champions League.
