For the first time in the club's young history, Gambian International Amadou Sanyang and Toronto FC will participate in the group stages of the CONCACAF Champions League, thanks to a 2-2 draw away to CD Motagua that knocked the venerable Honduran side out of the competition Tuesday night.
Yeoman work from Stefan Frei, creative flair from Maicon, and second-half goals from Dwayne De Rosario and Chad Barrett saw Toronto come from behind twice to get a rare away result, and held on for the aggregate win, according to goal .com.
