Thanks to an unforgivable error from the LA Galaxy goalkeeper, Drogba makes Sherbrooke street vibrate!
In an extremely interesting match, this last Saturday evening, the power of LA Galaxy wasn’t enough to win on the Montreal island.
First off, one of the stars in the last World Cup, the Mexican, Giovani Dos Santos opens the score at the 8th minute, but IMFC quickly reacts at the 26th minute with a goal thanks to Nacho Piatti.
In a back and forth, Ontivero makes the 2-1 and a couple of steps later, 2 minutes exactly, Magee puts the match back to an equal standpoint with once again a tie.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the western American team to pick up their three points, the ex-Chelsea player, Didier Drogba discounts in extra time to give the victory to Mauro Biello’s club in a perfect evening to enjoy the atmosphere at the Saputo Stadium.
