#MLS4Montreal reaches peak intensity on Wednesday night, as the Montreal Impact try to become the first Major League Soccer team to win the CONCACAF Champions League, in existence since 2008-09, and qualify for the FIFA Club World Cup, contested annually since 2005.
While MLS teams won the CONCACAF Champions' Cup in 1998 (D.C. United) and 2000 (LA Galaxy), those final tournaments were single-elimination events hosted on US soil; no MLS club has won a regional title contested in home-and-away series.
Wednesday's second leg picks up with a 1-1 scoreline after a draw in last week's first leg at Estadio Azteca.
Montreal will be without goalkeeper Evan Bush due to yellow-card accumulation, and just who will be the Impact's starting goalkeeper remained a question as of Monday afternoon.
Club América will be playing their third game in eight days, and captain Rubens Sambueza left Sunday's Liga MX match against Chivas Guadalajara due to injury.
No Impact fans on RealGM?
Over 60,000 will be at tonight's game. Starts at 8PM on Sportsnet One (Currently on a Free Preview)
