What you need to know:

  • A 1-0 win against Olimpia will be enough for Montreal to punch a semi-final ticket against the winner of the New York City FC (MLS) versus Tigres UANL (Mexico) quarter-final match.
  • Semi-finals are slated for December 19. The final will be played on December 22. All matches up to the final will be held at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Florida due to the coronavirus pandemic.   

Montreal Impact will bank highly on Kenyan midfielder Victor Mugubi Wanyama when they face CD Olimpia in a do-or-die quarter-final return leg match in the 2020 Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League on Tuesday.

It has been nine months since these two met in the first leg in Montreal where Thierry Henry’s men succumbed to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Honduran heavyweights on March 11.
