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.
Here's our Oliver Platt, in conversation with Cavalry FC head coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr. and star midfielder Sergio Camargo.
