The Miracle in Montreal
Toronto FC | Friday 19 June 2009 by Richard BlayneyMontreal Impact v Toronto FC
18/6/09
My plan was to sit down last night while watching the impossible game against Montreal and write about last Saturday’s victory over New York. I attended the game against New York so it would be the one worth writing about. I mean Toronto had to beat Montreal by four goals to qualify for the North American Champions League and while Montreal were already eliminated and were fielding a weakened team it still looked like an impossible hurdle to overcome. I had some faith that something could happen, I know all to well that Football is a funny old game and two goals by half-time and anything is possible, but when Toronto fell behind 1-0 to an early penalty even the most positive of fans must have considered opening a beer to what might have been.
