Toronto came from behind to win late. GOAL

Jonathan Osorio produced a moment of brilliance thanks to a sensational backheel with a minute of regulation time remaining to lift Toronto.

Jonathan Osorio scored in the 89th minute as MLS holders Toronto came from behind to draw first blood in their absorbing CONCACAF Champions League quarter-final tie against Tigres UANL.

Osorio produced a moment of brilliance thanks to a sensational backheel 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 half-time in Toronto, Gignac proved a handful for the hosts as Chile star Eduardo Vargas broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute.

 

 

Sounders veteran Dempsey side-footed a shot past Rodolfo Cota at CenturyLink Field.
