By Luis Martinez (Twitter @canadaluis)
Mexico city, MX – That’s right, Toronto FC keep making history, this time a group of young warriors wearing a red vest, advance to the final, after a 1-1 draw in The Estadio Azteca.
The beginning of the end for Las Águilas of Miguel Herrera, starts at minute 12′, when Jonathan Osorio goes inside the area by himself to score on the Agustin Marchesin door.
Club America went for everything, they put all the meat on the bbq, but unfortunately for them, Alex Bono was already the man of the Match.
The goalkeeper of the Canadian team was everywhere like a hero in complicity with Michael Bradley and his defensive line.
América was able to put one goal in this match, in the minute 90+2′, Uribe got in a penalty kick through. But it was simply too little, too late and 3 goals too short to win.
There is no longer an excuse for Greg Vanney to not win the final against Chivas, the team of Guadalajara is one of the worst teams of liga MX at the moment, apparently they should not represent the same kind of danger then América and Tigres.
The CCL is the only one title missing for Matias Almeida, he got the Copa MX Championship, the League championship and now he is looking for a new trophy.
On the other hand, it is the 1st final for the Reds and the playing field is already adapted to convert them into Champions, that they would rightfully deserve… they have the eye of the tiger.
Vanney is the Canadian Champion, the MLS Champion and is 90 minutes from the CCL, after that, the coach of Virginia can be ready to be in charge of the United States National Team.
