In what was the most shocking result in the first leg of the Round of 16, Toronto FC fell to Independiente, 4-0, in La Chorrera. It’s a huge hill to climb, but the Reds are saying all the right things and hope for a little more CCL magic at BMO Field. If they manage a massive comeback, Toronto would meet either Sporting Kansas City or Toluca in the quarterfinals.
