TORONTO – How times have changed for Toronto FC.
Toronto entered this game with a major mountain to scale. A 4-0 loss in Panama in last week’s first leg meant the Reds had to win this return match by five goals in order to advance to the quarterfinals. While the Canadian outfit put forth a valiant effort and played with fighting spirit, coming back from four goals down proved to be simply too much for them.
The pitch at BMO Field was in very rough shape, with large bare patches dotting the length of the field. The grass hadn’t fully come in yet, and the grounds crew compensated by sanding the pitch, which led to a heavy playing surface that adversely affected the bounce of the ball. It was as though both sides were playing in a giant sandbox.
