The first leg of the 2016 MLS Eastern Conference playoff final saw both sides leave the field with hope very much still alive.
Montreal Impact will be disappointed at having allowed a three-goal lead to slip, but should be consoled by the fact that the 3-2 still provides an advantage heading into the second leg. Toronto FC will be delighted to have scrambled back into a series that seemed to be over after Montreal's third goal. Instead of a three-goal hole, TFC brings a more manageable one-goal deficit home for the second leg - and two away goals may prove significant if the series comes down to tiebreakers.
