Santos Laguna-Montreal Match 2 (R)

[Cheeta]

Get to the TV! Kickoff is any minute.

Let's keep in-match chatter here, lads.

Looks a good crowd. Very good crowd. Must be a serious match.

[CanadasBest]

Look a bit nervous out there don't they?

[Tyson M]

I can see the Impact/Canadian banners in the corner there!

[martinm182]

gol santos.

[canadianfoot]

Damn Santos 1 - Montreal 0 12minut

[CanadasBest]

Ouch 1-0

[JamesW]

Not a good start.

[MegasAlexandros]

Sakuda does NOT look comfortable out there.

[canadianfoot]

MTL needs to score 1 goal then thanks to the home/away ratio they will have it in the bag. What formation is SANTOS playing?

[canadianfoot]

JORDAN Thank You for that save (20th min)

[sstackho]

FWIW, I just replayed before the goal. To me, it appears quite clear that the ball that Montreal tried to play up the wing did not go out of bounds. This led to a turnover, which directly led to the goal within 30 seconds.

[Olgier]

we need a freaking goal!!!

[CanadasBest]

GOALLLLLLLL!!! :-)

[martinm182]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLL IMPACT!!!!

[Cheeta]

OMG!!!

[Vancouversoccerman]

AWAY GOAL! ROBERTO BROWN!

What a dagger!

[canadianfoot]

The boys are nervous and the Defense is shaky they seem just to kick it anywhere in front of them. While when Sebrango runs ahead it seems no one can keep up with him. GOAL

[Olgier]

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!

i cant believe montreal got the away goal go impact!!

[canadianfoot]

Mtl Impact site seems down. Are they getting that much traffic? Are they streaming the game or something better than the CBC.ca?

[Obinna]

sub for oswaldo sanchez

[footballfreak]

Wow, Sanchez out.

[canadianfoot]

C'mon boys the defense seems Chaotic. Santos changes goalies. The next 45 Mtl will play 5-4-1

[JamboAl]

I wouldn't want to meet up with the reserve keeper in a dark alley. That guy looks like a beefcake.

[sstackho]

That's not gum the new keeper is chewing on. It's a taco.

"He's only made one appearance so far this season." Yet multiple appearances at the buffet, it would appear.

[canadianfoot]

Jordan is SOLID he is the Defense the rest is like swiss cheese right now. Who do you think will be subbed in the 2nd half?

[CanadianSwede]

GOOOOOOAAAAAAL!

Game over.

[Obinna]

its the impact show! sebrango scores!!!!

[Cheeta]

Eddie!

A GRAND GOAL! A GRAND GOAL!

[Vancouversoccerman]

Book your next Mexico Trip Montreal!

[Tyson M]

cbc feed getting super choppy for me... can't wait for the french cbc feed to start in tv... finally I can put my french degree to use...

GOAL!

[canadianfoot]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL 2-1 MTL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

[JamesW]

Are those defenders even trying?

[Olgier]

You're going to CANCUN, boys!

PS: who's got the vids of the groups stages and the journey in the CCL? We need to make a compilation I can seed them if I get them

[mrdeeds]

Knowing Grizzly, if this match continues the way it is he'll have a hard time hiding his excitement haha, armor can't hurt!

[Tyson M]

Poor Grizz is gonna get loud and proud isn't he?

Oh well, atleast he'll die happy!

[Blue and White Army]

Wow, what a result! With the away goal rule, Santos would have to score four goals in the second half in order to win! [:o)]

Whoa, Atlante are the Milton Keynes Dons of Mexico? ;)

[MTLcanada514]

I dunno about u guys but i never wanted to **** my pants so badly, 45 MINS TO GO!!! COME ON BOYS!!!!!!!

p.s. they showed a lady with a Montreal Rocks poster and next to her was a guys with an ultras scarf, any idea who they are?

[Grandstander]

Wow, what a half! Santos gift wraps the first Montreal goal. Who was the midfielder passing to? Good on Brown to pounce on the loose ball. I was surprised Gjertsen passed the ball into the middle when it looked like he had a great shot opportunity. It's OK to be unselfish, but that was a clear shooting opportunity. They got the goal anyway. So after a shakey start Montreal seems to have this game (and a spot in the semi's) wrapped up.

[MTL_4_LIFE]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep it up boys :D

[Cheeta]

The lads will be okay. Looks like they've each got their own security guard in the corner there.

If Roberto Brown's goal isn't taken away as an Own Goal before the end of the match he can count himself lucky. I've been watching pro-football since the very early '80s and that back pass ranks as one of the worse ever. In the top 1% for sure. Hooooly crap.

Sanchez comes up with a hamstring.

Cool goal by Eddie.

LeRoux out (that left side is getting killed out there).

Geezus. The stars are aligning.

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

This is just something else...

This has been a much better game than last week's in my opinion. Montreal are more fit, and I think Santos are taking it more seriously now they're down, which I think makes for a better match. Although Santos' defence is a bit on the brutal side, as both Montreal goals showed.

[tmcmurph]

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie!
Damn we're going to miss him playing for the Caps.

All the way to the Club World Cup for Montreal. They just keep setting the bar higher and higher every time out. Whoever wins the Voyageurs Cup in the future will have a huge legacy to outdo!

[Cheeta]

Should mention MOTM so far, THE REF.

Not trying to jinx anyone but this man is quite the find. Solid character, that. Knows his business.

Nice venue. Great pitch. Wonderful crowd even if they are probably grinding their teeth by this point.

[Cheeta]

P.S. Oh, and any park sponsored by Corona is okay by me.

[Keano]

Just Wow.

On Justin.tv most of the chatting was Mexican club supporters RIDICULING Santos lol

[MTL_4_LIFE]

Theres only about 5 people from montreal and there very protected

[canadianfoot]

ok lads 2nd 45 starting

[Leon_Araiza]

Wow guys, I'm laughing hard so hard now, this is why I love football. Let's see what Santos-Laguna really is made of. See ya in 45 ;) Hachita Ludueña already showed up. in the first sencond half minute.

So Santos out from CCL and doing not well in Mexican League do you think a new coaching position will be available in Santos?

[Keano]

ref is good

[Richard]

Kudos to the CONCACAF officials in this series, they have done well.

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

LOL...

Judging by what it sounds and looks like on the feed, it seems like a great stadium. Shame their team isn't currently giving them the kind of performances they deserve.

[Obinna]

this game is retarded

[CanadasBest]

Nice shot there by Montreal...

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

Fatso in net for Santos just made a great save!

[canadianfoot]

ok had a shot of V(itamin) and just to make it a thriller ALLEZ SANTOS score 1 or 2 more just so we get nervous

[JamboAl]

It helps that he takes up half the goal.

[Keano]

jajaja way to go Grande

[Richard]

Hmmm... about that referee again?

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

To be honest, smart choice by the ref... Send someone off and Grizzly could have a tough time getting out of there. ;)

[CanadasBest]

Knock on wood but the reffing in this match has been very consistent...

[Tyson M]

Grande is soooo cool out there... great passes... then stands up for himself while those two mexicans lose it... shoulda been red

[footballfreak]

Roberto Brown's gotta help out a little. He's not running for 50/50 balls and he's not coming back.

Thanks man, yeah, Santos its been retarted since a year or so but sometimes they kinda remember how to make goals and they can score plus even in the good days this non for cardiacs games were their style. Congrats for Canada, you have a nice team playing in Torreón tonight.

impact are in a good position they should replace brown now

Hey, for a CONCACAF official, this guy has been pretty impartial and hasn't flubbed many decisions. I'd take him over Archundia any day of the week, anyway.

Remember the ref for Montreal's away leg against Real Esteli? The second half of that match ended up being simply bizarre.

Alright, then take him out and put in a defensive player.

[Varsity Tyler]

Jason Jordan. Patty Onstad eat your heart out.

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

Heh, Jordan just managed to tip over a goalbound corner... Very similar to the one Onstad shoved into his own goal at BMO.

Well offside... Phew. :D

The Mexicans are really showing their skill now, Montreal are going to have to defend their asses off.

[mrdeeds]

At least that call was on the mark

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

Qintero (excuse my probably incorrect spelling) is doing extremely well for Santos. Why didn't they start this guy?

[MM2]

I saw him ref a Gold cup game and thought he was excellent, doing a good job tonight.

I Luv every corner. This game will be an Excellent prep for Atlante games. It will show all mistakes we make now

Wow, what a match!

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

6 minutes. I think I'll die if they score.

[Leon_Araiza]

No dont die! wow. What a game!

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

Gjertsen, walk off veeeerry slowly. :D

This match is a hundred times better from a neutral point of view than the first one. Fantastic stuff.

[Obinna]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[piltdownman]

Typical Concacaf official

[canadianfoot]

C'mon 1more GOAL on either side Please this game is soooooooooo good. Limniatis should be happy in a way it will leave him with lots to think about

[mrdeeds]

C'mon ref, help out the Impact.

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

...And the ref with the inevitable CONCACAF degeneration into weirdness at the end of the match. At least it didn't really make a difference.

[JamboAl]

Thank God soccer is only a 90 min game; another 10 mins and the impact would be cooked.

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

Brillant with a brillant clearance.

Yes. Damn cheesy. I know.

That's epic.

[Keegan]

Unbelieveable what an awful collapse. embarrassing

[martinm182]

absolutely insane.

[Richard]

Four second half goals, they were the better team tonight for sure.

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

How on earth can you collapse like that? I mean, honestly, it's not like your playing AC f*cking Milan either. Although that's who Quintero should be playing for.

[footballfreak]

They deserved it. Terrible f*cking decisions!:(:(:(

[loyola]

...

[tmcmurph]

I will hand it to the Mexican side they pass the ball like robots. Montreal just couldn't keep it away from them.

Too bad but all good things must come to an end.

[JamesW]

Wow, that really sucks. But I've got to say, this is one of the best games I've seen.

Changing the tactic to an 11 man defense was a huge mistake. Our balanced tactic had them on equal footing for 135 minutes. Coaching mistake.

Now THAT was entertainment.

Bahahaha I was cheering for Montreal but that was hilarious.

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

In any case, now that this over, CSA, HIRE LIMNIATIS!!!

Allez Montreal you played you lost. Congrats to Santos. Definitely lots of mistakes in the Defense. I have to drink now......fushiiiitttttt

[Leon_Araiza]

Sorry guys, from the heart. This is Santos-Laguna style, this is their signature. You gotta learn cuz the talent and balls you already have them big. Welcome to the major leagues. What a game, I LUV FOOTBALL. DAZ WHAT I LUV.

[loyola]

MTL needed Jonny Placide in goal tonight...

Setiously, congrats for the amazing run, that was pretty cool!

[Tyson M]

wtf. i vote we change our name from voyageurs to losers... man... every greating team I root for on this board loses... this is horrendous!!!!!!!!!

When Montreal gave up on the counter I envisioned this outcome I am sad to say. But the better team won. Surprised Montreal seemed to give up on the counter though.

Montreal did give them too much of the ball, I'll give you that, but the all-out defence worked pretty well against Toronto.

The one and only reason Montreal lost tonight was Quintero.

completely agree, playing too defensively kept the ball at our end for the last 20 minutes

[Varsity Tyler]

Let's be honest: Montreal were ****e tonight. The whole team was behind the ball for the second half and they still couldn't shut the door. What a poor, poor showing.

[Vancouversoccerman]

I'm just gonna go to bed shaking my head.

I haven't seen anything like that in a hell of a lot of years.

I saw Manchester City come back down 3-0 at halftime to Spurs and down to ten men in a FA Cup match.

I remember the Whitecaps many years ago blowing a 4-0 aggregate going back to Minnesota.

But I can't remember anything like what we just saw tonight.

Wow.

[Keano]

One bad half in 11 matches.... almost all against "superior" clubs.... In a few days this will feel good.... right now it feels baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

[Grandstander]

Wow what a second half? The Impact had little impact. De Vos at 3-2 was giving check marks for Montreal's "disciplined defending" They gave up three goals at that point, ended up giving 5 on the night. Talk about foot-in-mouth. Props to Montreal for giving a good run, and doing the USL proud. They could have and should have done so much more. Montreal is getting into a bad habit of losing these second leg games. Like against Vancouver in the USL semi-final. Unlike most USL clubs they are ready to go now, and have to wait a month before they take advantage of their pre-season form. Hopefully that doesn't work against them.

Good luck to Puerto Rico.

I wonder why you come here to post. Please go party elsewhere. It's pathetic. I must say too that every Mexico match I saw lately, the players tend to hit the oponent, something that happened today against Grande.

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

I think the laws of physics change in Mexico.

The 'game of the century' (Italy v Germany, 5 goals in extra time) at Azteca, and now this. I think it's the altitude.

[canadianfoot]

Guys Guys C'mon Congrats to MTL they did reach 1/4finals in the first year of the CCL and V-Cup. Mistakes sure but I think it was the players psyche that colapsed. Santos played like Germany does from First to Last whistle knowing they can still win or lose. I am an Mtl supporter but we need to mature that's all

[Cheeta]

14 corners to nil!!!!

Oh-my-gawd....


Boy, what a match. Seriously, how does anyone expect me to get to sleep tonight? That was insane.

Inverness beats Rangers at Ibrox and Santos Languna score two added time goals to knock out Montreal! Fu'k me....

To be fair Santos were passing like a machine all night. They just managed to click in the second half way too many times. That is what we need to aspire to. When our teams can pass like that and have that touch on the ball we will be on par.

There is no defense to great passing except to keep the ball away from them. It looked like Montreal just ran out of gas in the second half.

Congrats to the Impact on a great run and to Santos for a great comeback.

Santos is no TFC 08. In reality, Montreal had a very good balance of all out defense mixed in with opportunistic counters prior to tonight's collapse. That counter part was invisible in the second half.

[Richard]

Montreal had a good run and entertained us mightily, well done lads but you didn't deserve to win tonight.

Actually, the dude's been quite respectful in his posts.

Something I think some people on here need to learn is how to lose. You'd think that with all the losing our national team does, we'd have learned by now how to lose with some grace.

[SteveBeau]

Wow...that was extremely disapointing [V]

But i have to give credit to our boys for a great run in this tournament...It's sad that it had to end in such a brutal way!

What the heck just happened!
10 corners in 15 minutes.. there were 20 players in Montreal's box 70% of the second half. Stupid goals to give up. Dumb errors, rebounds, not covering their man. They had the ball in their half up 2 with 2 mins left and they dont win!!!! they did not play this game right. This was one of the wierdest football matches I have ever seen in my life.
Montreal played horrible.

Kudos to Montreal for making it this far in the Champions League and for the fabulous turn-out at Olympic Stadium.

It`s too bad there was such a long break between the last round and this one. Montreal was not the same team as they were before Christmas.

[michaeltfc91]

If I was from Montreal, I don't know if I would be able to go to sleep tnoight or school tommorow. I'd be in shambles!

[MexTFC]

Overall great run by Montreal. You made all Canadians proud.

[MTL_4_LIFE]

WHAT THE F**K???

THAT DIDN'T JUST HAPPEN.

OH MY GOD, IT F**KEN S*CKS.

BUT, THANK YOU IMPACT FOR THIS GREAT RUN.

[martinm182]

I still can't believe this.... speechless


I keep thinking "can't wait for march 17-19th" .... and then :(:(:(

[canadianfoot]

I wonder how Grizzly is doing

Guys Guys C'mon Congrats to MTL they did reach 1/4finals in the first year of the CCL and V-Cup. Mistakes sure but I think it was the players psyche that colapsed. Santos played like Germany does from First to Last whistle knowing they can still win or lose. I am an Mtl supporter but we need to mature that's all


Agreed.

I'd still clap them off the field. What a run. FFS, this is their 2nd competitive match since last year!

Desperate football, but passionate. And that sort of footie is always fun to watch.

Ya that would have changed the game. The ref made the right call on that play though IMO.

[Keegan]

Tragedy.

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

In the end, we showed that Canadian teams have what it takes to compete with some of the best clubs in CONCACAF. A draw with Atlante and nearly 2 defeats of the Apertura (or was it Clausura, meh) champions. Not a bad showing.

[canadianfoot]

I hope our Grizzly bear dosen't go get drunk in a pub that might get roudy

[MexTFC]

Now I can focus on TFC's 09 fun.

Well, that would've been a complete travesty because that a clear dive. More chance to get a yellow for it than a PK.

I'm wondering if the last goal was offside (the replay didn't showed the positionning at the moment of the pass, so I guess he was offside). Anyways, Brillant bodycheck should've been a pk seconds earlier...

[morbital]

what a terrible second half, they just didnt play well enough to win... i really feel for the imapct fans, elation to absoulte devestation... great run tho

Wow, I feel bad for you guys. I was rooting for you ever since you beat Real Esteli.
Lets give Montreal credit, the whole tournament was outstanding. It ended in heart break, im used to that now after this season of soccer. Great job Montrealthis year!
Toronto FC 2009 here we come!

[MexTFC]

Although I am not in shock, I totally saw the 4th goal coming a mile away, I just thought the boys would get through on the away goals.

I agree. The only decision that was incorrect was not sending off the Santos player for hitting Grande.

[jobu]

This loss is tough to swallow, but montreal has a lot to be pride about. I think its safe to say that not many of us felt they would make it beyond the group stage of the champions league (They weren't even a shoo-in for being the canadian representive).

While I hoped that montreal could have progressed further into this tournament, I also am optimistic that their excellent performance in this tournament can garner more media attention and exposure to club soccer in canada.

[MTL_4_LIFE]

IS THIS ALL A DREAM. AM I GOING TO WAKE UP TOMORROW AND THIS NEVER HAPPENED.

[HamiltonSteelers]

That was truly epic. I was talking to a buddy who was watching the feed... we went from planning a roadtrip to considering getting pissed up.

Props to the Impact. Despite the collapse, it's been a helluva ride. I hope we show some love when Montreal visits TFC. (probably not, but I'm optimistic...)

Despite the result, this is why I love football. No other sport has ever had me deliriously high and depressingly low in such a short period of time.

Sorry guys, from the heart. This is Santos-Laguna style, this is their signature. You gotta learn cuz the talent and balls you already have them big. Welcome to the major leagues. What a game, I LUV FOOTBALL. DAZ WHAT I LUV.


I wonder why you come here to post. Please go party elsewhere. It's pathetic. I must say too that every Mexico match I saw lately, the players tend to hit the oponent, something that happened today against Grande.
Actually, the dude's been quite respectful in his posts.

Something I think some people on here need to learn is how to lose. You'd think that with all the losing our national team does, we'd have learned by now how to lose with some grace.


I'd prefer we learn how to win. And my point of view is that celebrating with the opponent fans is a lack of respect. Anyway, I'm not in the mood to discuss. What a sad night :( Good night.

Thats exactly it, football is a crazy sport that means so much to a whole nation that no other sport can provide

[squizz]

I sincerely hope that this shocking result doesn't end up overshadowing the Impact's magical run in this tournament, which culminated in the 55,000+ turnout at Olympic Stadium.

The way the Canadian sports media works, though, I'm guessing it will.

God dammit.

[JamboAl]

All I can say is that the Impact set the bar for the next Canadian club champion. Well done on the cup run.

[mrdeeds]

I can't even fathom how low the Impact feel right now. Hopefully they will return to Montreal to a throng of cheering fans. To bad I am over in Edmonton Ab. I'd be there for sure.

[Vancouver Fan]

It seemed that the heat and humidity of Mexico might have got the best of Montreal tonight and Santos took full advantage. Did really well to push the Mexicans as far as they did. Well done Impact.

It would have been so cool to see another record attendance match at the big O though.

Oh, I agree. In any case, there is no excuse for giving up 4 goals in a half.

With respect to Santos, it's not like they were playing AC Milan or something either. They should have been able to hold on.

[loyola]

Those last few minutes were right there with the last moments of the Haiti vs Mexico U-23 a year ago....pure madness....sadly we didn't got the result we needed. But again, it was a nice run by MTL!

If I was Saputo, I would be looking to move that Voyageurs Cup game against Toronto to the Olympic Stadium...I think he could get a pretty big crowd for that and today's loss might help in that regard....

This loss likely cost the Impact a million dollars. A million dollars.

For a club which has at best a 3 million dollar annual budget THAT has to be harsh.

[canadianfoot]

Now the coaching and support staff at the Impact will have their hands FULL. First they need to shakeup the guys. I happened OK it's shiitty but we will learn from the mistakes. They will need to reorganise themselves and learn to play not 30/60/90minutes but 90+minutes. They will need to build their psyche up before the season and V-cup run start. I believe they can do it, I don't forsee any chnages in the coaching staff but maybe a few trades in players? My brother in law coaches a U-16 satellite team to J. Leagues Iwata Jubilo and he always tells them "psyche and 90+min"

Look at my previous post, maybe a V's Cup game vs Toronto could partialy make up for that...well let's hope.

[speedmonk42]

I just feel robbed of one totally awesome trip to Montreal.

[mtl-supporter23]

This loss is honestly more painful than the entire WCQ. I'm in complete shock, 4 greating stoppage minutes was not warrented. I don't know what to say I'm too depressed at this point, this honestly is more painful than any other loss ever experience in Canadian football.

I personally would like to blame Jason De Vos for saying the Impact were through. OK with all humor aside now I think I'm going and cry myself to sleep..... or cut myself.

[MikeD]

Kudos to Montreal for a great run to make it this far. That quarterfinal match in the Big O was fantastic. The city and the fans can be proud of that turnout.

I won't be able to sleep tonight either...

That's funny cause we were saying exactly that int he FF in TO.

Jason just lost the game cause he said that.

And... well fck me... I should be crashing at Grizzly's apartment drunk for the semis.

Fck.

[theaub]

I don't know why, but I'm watching it again on the Maritime CBC.

So depressing...I really feel for the Impact supporters and especially those who went down there to watch it.

I agree on the stoppage time, I have no idea where the four minutes came from. There were hardly any lengthy stoppages, unless you include Santos players moaning at the ref.

Also, I'm a bit reluctant to visit the RPB forum at the moment. Bound to be some immature people mouthing off. As, you know, people there are less about country over club than we on here are...

[Keano]

I really hope not too much fingers were pointed. I hope if things were said then Grande and Pizzolitto had a team meeting after with a positive vibe. It would really suck if this were to poison Saputo's "family atmosphere". We have to get back on the horse.

There might be some immature idiots. But I was at a bar tonight with lots of RPB and USector people out to see a game.

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

Oh yeah, I'm not saying everyone there is against Montreal. I know quite a few on there were pulling for them.

There are a few though who are on the immature side, and unfortunately, they're always the loudest.
