That was a positive result given the way the game went overall. We almost went up a goal within the first minute, then Montreal started to take over and definitely looked like the MLS team in the tie. We struggled to keep the ball. But we had two really good movements in the second half involving Malonga and one resulted in a huge goal. Malonga definitely allowed us to play more direct. Montreal not putting the dagger in when it was 2-0 came back to haunt them. A Camargo injury is the biggest worry going into the second leg. I'm confident with Adekugbe stepping in for Ledgerwood but replacing Camargo will be more difficult. I'm guessing Minatel could step in or Eustaqiou could slide in and then Büscher could play further up as the #10.
