In a historic 2-1 victory for Cavalry FC over Pumas UNAM in the first leg of their Concacaf Champions Cup tie on Thursday night, a moment of pure magic made the difference. In the 80th minute, Tobias Warschewski, the Canadian Premier League’s 2024 Golden Boot winner, scored a goal of world-class calibre. After Ali Musse’s cross had been headed into his path by Jay Herdman, the German’s mid-air first touch took him past his marker, before he swivelled and volleyed the ball home for an incredible finish. It was the first time a Canadian Premier League club had won a match in the Concacaf Champions Cup. The two sides face off again in the second leg next Thursday, Feb. 13 in Mexico City.
