Mixed results for MLS teams in the CONCACAF Champions League openers Tuesday night: Houston Dynamo won 1-0 in Guatemala on a gorgeous strike by DaMarcus Beasley, but Toronto FC was blown out 4-0 by CAI, a small Panamanian club making its CCL debut. Houston’s return leg is this Tue., Feb. 26, 7pm at BBVA Compass Stadium. By 2022, we could be hosting that game in North Austin!
