It was basically an almost A squad for the Montreal Impact facing a makeshift B- squad wearing the Toronto FC red , at BMO field. For the first leg of the Canadian Championship semi-final, the " Two Solitudes Derby " gave us a series of dramatic twists and a few rollercoaster rides, in what should have been an easy game for Montreal.
After going down 3-0 and one-man down, the Impact was able to conjure up 2 crucial away goals thanks to goals from Michael Salazar and Didier Drogba. The 4-2 first leg result makes the second leg at Stade Saputo even more important as the game stays meaningful for players and fans alike.
