Montreal host Club America this Wednesday. Montreal has the advantage thanks to the away goals rule after securing a somewhat miraculous 1-1 draw in Azteca in front of over 50,000 people armed with batteries and laser pointers. Montreal led late and CA scored in stoppage time. Montreal also got screwed out of what should have been a DOGSO red card.
What's interesting is that Montreal's keeper is out for a yellow card suspension and they only keeper they have left that is eligible is a guy who is on loan just for the Champion's League from Edmonton's NASL team. So basically they are scrambling to find a keeper that is up to the task. The other interesting tidbit is that Montreal is widely regarded as MLS's worst team. They qualified by winning the Canadian Cup. Club America is a powerhouse in Liga MX.
There are 65,000 tickets sold for this one.
