The two-legged series between Toronto FC and the Montreal Impact was one of the most exciting playoff matchups in MLS history. Ten goals were scored over 180 minutes before another two in the final thirty helped to alleviate so many years of pain for Reds supporters. In Montreal’s Olympic Stadium, a capacity crowd of 61,004 witnessed history as the Impact tied their highest-ever attendance for a match in the first leg (the record was previously set during their CONCACAF Champions League final clash against Club America).
Toronto also set an attendance record at BMO Field thanks to the recent renovations and the temporary additional seating.
