CONCACAF Champions League, Toronto FC Vs. FC Dallas: Toros Grab Early 1-0 Lead
Despite playing without two of their best defenders, FC Dallas has controlled much of the early going of this match. They hold a 55-45 possession advantage and have created more pressure than the home team. Andrew Jacobson has looked solid in his first start this season at center back, as George John is currently in Europe trying to finalize paperwork for a transfer to Blackburn.
Both teams entered the match having won road games in their first CCL matches last week. The Toros became the first MLS team to win in Mexico by beating UNAM Pumas 1-0, while the Reds beat Panama’s Tauro 2-1.
