TORONTO, Canada—Toronto FC had nary taken a wrong step through the first half of their MLS Canadian Series journey — nine points through three matches.
In the run-up to their fourth match, a home fixture against the Montreal Impact, some (myself included) were transfixed by the fact that TFC could not clinch a Voyageurs Cup Final berth with a win. Head-to-head was not the first tie-breaker in this makeshift “competition”, and therefore, two out of three from Vancouver and two out of three from Montreal wouldn’t be enough to seal the deal.
