The funny thing about reporting on a match is that you start writing an article in your head as the game is on. The 80th minute had just passed and I was thinking of a witty way of putting down TFC whipping-boy Chad Barrett when the unthinkable happened. Toronto's own "Poor Man's Rooney" got the slightest glance on a cross and capped off the most improbable, and most important victory in the club's short history. Toronto FC have snagged their first piece of silverware becoming the 2009 Canadian Cup Champions and have put a major silver lining on a season that was slipping into mediocrity in a hurry.No report on this match can exist without highlighting the fact that it was the hometown boy Dwayne DeRosario who absolutely put the team on his back and dragged them to victory. Scarborough's finest dazzled the weak Montreal defence with aggressive play and scored a hat-trick while seemingly lifting his teammates around him. A pair from Guevara and the miracle from Barrett made it 6-1 and made the impossible a reality. It has also given TFC the chance to shine in continental play. Anyone up for a Puerto Rican road trip? The Islanders are next. Do you believe in miracles?
