Sakuda May Make Montréal Debut in Champions League

Former Sounder to Start at Right Back Kevin Sakuda’s life has been a bit of a whirlwind recently. If you pardon the continuation of the meteorological references, that whirlwind lands tonight in Torreón, in the Mexican state of Coahuila when he will makehis Montréal Impact debut in the CONCACAF Champions League. The young right back finds himself drafted into action immediately for a game that is of immense importance to both the Impact themselves and the perception of the USL. It’s all happened very quickly for him. “It’s been a whirlwind. After being released from Seattle I was in talks with Minnesota, Portland, and Austin. In my head, I thought I would end up at one of those clubs. Then Monday, I got a call from Nick Desantis from Montréal. By Thursday I was signed and on Friday on a plane to meet the team in Houston. It’s all happened so quickly, but I am looking forward to the change and am excited about being a part of such a great organization” L’Impact lead 2-0 from the first leg in Québec and must have taken some inspiration from Puerto Rico Islanders’ great win in Honduras last night.
