Playoff Match in Photos: Montreal Impact v Toronto FC (November 22, 2016)

Decided to take the trip down to Montreal to shoot the match at the Olympic Stadium and though I was somewhat heartbroken after the first half - those two away goals quickly alleviated that feeling. Here are my favourite images from last night's match:

The lighting at the Big O isn't the greatest so some of these shots have some noise but I enjoyed the match and wanted to share as much as I could. 3-2 is a much better scoreline than 3-0.
