The derby always seems to bring out the best in Toronto FC and CF Montreal.
Saturday's 1-1 draw at BMO Field wasn't a tactical masterclass full of technical quality. But it was a chaotic and entertaining affair contested between two teams full of passion and drive who were eager to put one over on their most bitter rival.
"Not a whole lot of elaborate tactics as much as it was emotion, hard work, determination. I don't think it was ever going to be a beautiful game given the rivalry. And it really became a bit of a war of attrition, and I thought it was a fitting game for Toronto-Montreal," coach Robin Fraser said.
Here are my three major takeaways from Saturday's match.
