CONCACAF Champions League Review: Toronto and Seattle take first-leg leads

Jonathan Osorio scored in the 89th minute as MLS champion Toronto came from behind to draw first blood in their absorbing CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal tie against Liga MX champion Tigres UANL.

Osorio produced a moment of brilliance thanks to a sensational back-heel with a minute of regulation time remaining to lift Toronto to a thrilling 2-1 victory over the Mexican visitors on Wednesday.

Former Marseille forward and 36-time France international Andre-Pierre Gignac was named among the substitutes for Tigres at BMO Field but the match changed after his introduction.

Brought on for Enner Valencia at halftime in Toronto, Gignac proved a handful for the home side as Chile star Eduardo Vargas broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute.
