Overnight, it’s become, oh so simple. to select a season’s highlight if you’re a Montreal Impact fan!
Determination, guts, fortitude and craft. They were all there in abundance at BMO Field last night. Plenty of drama too with a clear penalty denied, a 70th minute goal conceded, a red card, the physically-shot Piatti rapping the crossbar in the last minute and the normally dreaded penalty shoot-out, which turned out pretty nicely, actually.
Montreal for once this season, played like a team, that simply refused to be beaten, while Toronto FC runs the danger of being labelled ‘PK Shoot-out Chokers’, having now lost in this manner in a Canadian Championship decider, to add to similar reverses in MLS Cup and CONCACAF Champions League.
