What a let-down!
Four months since football stopped for lockdown, Impact fans were hoping for something better than the 1-0 ‘slaughtering’ their team received tonight. Optimism and expectation was in the Montreal air. Encouraging and positive noises emerged from player press conferences over the past week and everyone was raring to go. Except perhaps, the team itself...
I’m unsure how many weeks of actual training each of last night’s teams had behind them, but New England looked fresh, focussed, fit and sharp, while Montreal blew exhaust fumes before the interval had even arrived.
It was a match between teams at different levels.
