Prior to the game, MLS Commissioner Don Garber, described this competition as a potential “international Super Bowl.”
Unfortunately, it did not feel like that given various factors. First, BMO Field was not as pumped up as it was during the home ties in the Concacaf Champions League, and rightly so because those games mattered more.
Second, despite some moments of brilliant individuality that were produced on the field, the game lacked full intensity and it felt more like a friendly match bar some on-field disputes between the players.
