Montreal Impact play Deportivo Saprissa to draw in Champions League

The Montreal Impact took an early lead in their Concacaf Champions League round of 16 battle Wednesday night, but their opponent — Deportivo Saprissa — caught up.

Montreal was confident with a 2-0 scoreline at the half but left Costa Rica with a 2-2 draw in the first leg of their 2020 Champions League bout.

Orji Okwonkwo and Romell Quioto were the goal-scorers for Montreal while Johan Venegas and Ariel Rodriguez added the tying goals for Saprissa, a side in Costa Rica’s top division.

The Impact opened the score in the 11th minute courtesy of a Saprissa turnover.
