The Montreal Impact were looking to succeed where the Seattle Sounders failed. Sadly, they fell into the same trap as the Rave Green, falling in a 2-1 loss to Olimpia in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions League quarter-final.
Two poor goals in the first half were enough to put Montreal in a hole that they couldn’t climb out of. Saphir Taider scored a stunner from 40 yards out and the Impact should have had a penalty that was initially awarded before then being rescinded, but in the end, Thierry Henry’s side will head home ruing their missed opportunities and knowing that they have work to do in the second leg.
