Montreal opened the scoring in the first half, but the Torontonians responded quickly. The Quebec representatives thought they were going to the locker room with a 2-1 lead, but the defending champion tied the match again less than 5 seconds before the break.
The last 20 minutes were the work of Sporting Montreal captain Shaquille Michaud. The player who also captains the Haitian national team put his team on his shoulders by scoring a hat-trick, including the winning goal and the locking goal.
Of course, from a personal point of view, the match I played today I will not soon forget. My goal is always to set an example for my teammates
