Too much technical waste, too many missed passes, too many missed opportunities and too much defensive excitement. TFC seems very close to elimination.

It’s halftime!
An incredible first period, 2-2, Rouen leading 1-0, then a penalty from Sierro, then Gboho for 2-1. Afterwards it was madness. Penalty for Rouen, stopped once, then the referee whistles again for a handball from Nicolaisen. Dominguez again, but to be removed, and finally Rouen equalizes. A crazy match.
