It was a sketchy call at best from referee Armando Villarreal, but Kei Kamara, who didn't take a single penalty throughout the season, stepped up to the spot after talking Federico Higuain out of taking the 12-yard shot, saw his effort thwarted by a diving Evan Bush, restoring justice.

Bush's save preserved Montreal's 3-2 lead on aggregate until Finlay leveled the score some 10 minutes later, forcing extra time.
