They fought their way into the
CONCACHAMPIONS League finals with desires to win it all, as well write history
as the first Canadian squad to do such feat and try to be the third squad in
Major League Soccer since its twenty year inception.
the unfortunate side for Frank Klopas is
after a nice result in a draw at Mexico City Azteca Stadium, were Mexican
squads are supposed to be invincible, their biggest loss was starting
goalkeeper Evan Bush who got suspended by accumulation of cards.
Very well seeing an immediate opening of
the hostilities in the eight minute with the Andean combination of Ignacio
Piatti and Andres Romero who this latter one opened the score to the delirium
of the Gars fans in Stade Olympique.
Filled to its maximum capacity and its
Ultras followers awaiting for the ultimate of miracles, their representative
was one worthy opponent as well an awesome representative of Major League
Soccer, in this events known to be dominated by Mexican and Central American
squad’s.

By seeing a determined and ambitious Impact
squad eliminating giants in its way to the finals and with Costa Rican
powerhouse and CCL squad considered as
important in Liga Deportiva Alajuelense, the Gars of the Montreal Impact who
were so close and yet so far of the achievement.
As many have seen a sudden growth in
American Soccer especially in this league and in the National squad levels,
being Team USA the new giant of CONCACAF as well a dominant of national squad’s
in the region.
Major League Soccer squads are almost on
the verge of emulating the Stars and Stripes squad as we saw tonight with a
belligerent and ambitious Impact that never ceased to quit or give up in their
desires to lift the trophy and became a representative in Japan’s World Cup of
Clubs.
Their unfortunate side was a possessed
Dario Benedetto who was the hero with three goals in the 50’, 66’ and 81’
alongside Oribe Peralta who contributed in the 64’ for the final score of 4-2
and a global of 5-3 overall.
Still the Impact substitute in Jack McInerney,
who replaced Marco Donadel on the 67’ minute, saw his efforts coming short
after scoring in the 89’ minute the honor goal in what seems a match filled
with a lot of yellow cards from both sides.
One thing the Impact didn’t count on
Mexico’s Club America was its experience in tournaments like this and to play
with loads of pressure is one thing already dominated by this Mexican sqaud and
added on to their repertoires to the final score.
The local Impact defensive side couldn’t
contain or decipher a team America frontal attack that really gave a lot of
satisfactions and pleasure to its Boss Gustavo Matosas who got his efforts
rewarded as well his strategies falling into place.
At the end I do congratulate the lads of
Club America for their efforts and never giving back as well for the Montreal
Impact their all-around resolution and determination to reach into these levels
was one major achievement in this club history.
Allez Impact for your one and only
performance that made your followers from the City of Mary, dream of a possible
shield that could adorn the halls of Saputo Stadium, maybe next time you never
know and now focus on the league remaining matches, well done!
“From CCR to Azteca, always faithful.”
