Can Stefano Pesoli and Montreal Impact get the better of Mexican club Santos in the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF Champions League? (Graham Hughes/Canadian Press)

The Montreal Impact defied the odds by even qualifying for the inaugural CONCACAF Champions League.

But once they did, they didn't rest on their laurels. Instead, the Impact posted impressive victories over Trinidadian champions Joe Public FC and Olimpia of Honduras, and earned a credible draw against Mexican outfit Atlante.

The Impact's stellar form in the first round propelled them into the Champions League quarter-finals against Mexico's Santos Laguna, with the opener of the two-game playoff slated for Wednesday in Montreal (CBC Bold, CBCSports.ca, 8 p.m. ET).

But has time run out on the Impact? Is this as far as they will go? Do you think they can defeat Santos to advance to the semifinals?
