Match Thread: CONCACAF Champions League - Round of 16 - Leg 2: CF Montreal v Santos Laguna (Mexico) - February 23, 2022

[jonovision]

Montreal looks good. Their opponent does not. The turf isn't great, but the surface plays truer than Edmonton and Hamilton did in their qualifiers. I know Choiniere is highly rated but I'd never been that impressed in the games of his I've seen. Maybe I've picked the wrong ones, looks real solid tonight. Santos Laguna's best hope may be to keep lumping balls forward to their big centre forward, who is causing trouble for Waterman and Camacho. Otherwise they haven't created much.

Concacaf reffing in full effect!  

How did they both get a card?  Miller didn't even get to toss anyone to the ground...

[gator]

The ref is absolutely terrible, Montreal getting Concacafed, they need the 3rd soon!

[narduch]

Kone scores

Johnston for Waterman 

[jonovision]

This is fun stuff. One way traffic. Great play from Montreal finished off in style by Kone.

Johnston in for Waterman who played well and was unlucky to be on a yellow.

[Acid-Tone]

This is gonna be a fun team to watch all year!

Johnston makes his debut, coming on for Waterman.

That was a fun match, well done Montreal and it's so good to see the Canadians do well!

[dyslexic nam]

My stream was shut so only saw some between reloads, but what I saw by Montreal was pretty damn sweet footy.  With the CanCon on display I will definitely be tuning in for their games this season.

Canucks Abroad on twitter say yes.

It must be said: Santos Laguna were absolute dogshit.

[wallflower]

Good to see Rudy go the full 90 and play well. Both Kamal and Joel had some dicey passes.

It really looked like the ref was scared of giving a card to Santos Laguna without also giving one to Montreal. It didn't work the other way around though.

It seems Breza paid no attention to the NO SMOKING signs ..priceless 

[CanadaFan123]

Safe to say that was the best performance by a Canadian team in the history of this competition? 

[Cicero]

Most dominant performance for sure. TFC took out a very good Tigres side in 2018, whereas Santos are not playing very well right now, so not sure which I'd say is better. Whatever the case, that was a great result for CF Montreal, and fun to watch.
