TFC: first leg, we're ok

Day -205 WorldCup2018

Game over. Really. It just finished. Toronto FC played the almost perfect first leg away match. They closed down Columbus' prolific attackers and come back to Toronto with a 0-0 draw. There were a few moments for the Columbus fans to get excited about towards the end and one pretty incredible save from the TFC goalie. But overall it was a pretty efficient away performance. All that was missing was a last minute TFC goal. The worrying thing is TFC have to win the second leg next Wednesday, while if Columbus score a draw will see them through.

For the neutral it probably wasn't a terribly exciting match. Tense and tight were two good words to describe it. The best entertainment came from my viewing partner:

"Daddy, the other team look like taxis. Look, they are yellow with a line of black checks. Taxis!"
We will reconvene next Wednesday.
