Toronto FC claimed one of their most important victories in club history as they overwhelmed Club Leon 2-1 in the CONCACAF Champion’s League.
After last week’s lionhearted show by TFC, a palpable anticipation had shrouded the second match against Club León. Chris Armas’ high-pressing, high-intensity incarnation of the Reds had certainly sparked something amongst fans—let’s call it something generically positive, as after one game it can hardly be considered wholly good, neither in the utilitarian nor the moral sense. Regardless, despite many dangling questions, the intrepid performance had kindled excitement and hope amongst the red ranks, both of which ended up serving as an unfortunately corporate segue to the rematch at the—wait for it—ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Disneyland.
