You would be forgiven for thinking the game did not start until the 6th minute. First a punch to the head for Przybylko, courtesy of Montreal GK Diop, who was well within his rights to go for the ball.
A few minutes later, it was McKenzie’s turn to receive treatment, after a foul on a Montreal player just outside the box. Next thing you know, Montreal scores off the free kick through a gap in the wall meant to protect Blake’s left side. The foul that lead to the goal was indicative of Philadelphia’s play in the first half.
