FC Dallas draw first blood in the other Champions League semifinal

The CONCACAF Champions League semifinals are officially at the halfway point with both first legs now played, and it's equal footing between MLS and Liga MX with each league having one team holding the advantage.

On Wednesday, FC Dallas hosted Pachuca at home. After going down 1-0 in the third minute, they came back for a 2-1 victory going to Mexico on Tuesday, April 4.

Whitecaps FC have work to do down 2-0 after the first leg, but they know full well that the task is not impossible. They can look at Dallas' impressive home result as perfect evidence, as well as across the pond where four of eight Champions League knockout series in Europe have seen teams overcome a first leg deficit to win in the second leg.
