Toronto welcomes chance to test itself in Mexico against Liga MX champion Tigres
It’s been less than 2 1/2 years since Toronto FC crumbled in its first-ever foray into the MLS playoffs, stumbling to a 3-0 loss in Montreal.
How times have changed.
Forged in the cauldron of two-game series in the MLS playoffs and Canadian championships, the MLS champions are embracing the challenge of playing on hostile ground in Monterrey against Liga MX champion Tigres UANL in the second leg of their Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League quarter-final.
Toronto won the opener of the aggregate series 2-1 at BMO Field last Wednesday.
