Concacaf Champions League draw made

The complete group schedule announced Friday has Mexican Clausura champion and last-season's Champions League runner-up Santos Laguna beginning its schedule in the second full week of play, opening at home against Aguila of El Salvador on August 21.

Toronto FC will face Santos in a rematch of their semifinal series on August 28 at BMO Field and then again in Torreon, Mexico, in the final week on October 24.

The Group Stage will conclude a day later with Chivas de Guadalajara facing Xelaju of Guatemala, and Isidro Metapan of El Salvador against the LA Galaxy.
