The last entrant to the CONCACAF Champions League is complete, as Montreal Impact held Toronto FC to a 1-1 draw to win the Nutrilite Canadian Championship. Rohan Ricketts opened the scoring for TFC after 16 minutes, but Ricardo Brown equalized for Montreal ten minutes later. The Impact had to soak up a lot of pressure from the MLS side but with the help of Matt Jordan in goal obtained the golden point to advance to CONCACAF's highest club competition. What a huge victory for Montreal, which salvages a poor season, and what a moment for the USL who now have two teams in the Champions League.
Montreal will now play Real Estelí over two legs in late August and early September for a spot in the group stage.
