The Impact needed one of three results to go its way Sunday. But both the New England Revolution and Houston Dynamo won their matches, leaving it up to the third and final game to decide if the Impact’s season would be over or not.

Now, if there’s one thing to say in the referee’s defence, is that Osorio’s act of turning may have given the illusion that his arm was indeed playing the ball. In my opinion, if Osorio doesn’t turn to minimize the impact, if he takes the shot straight on, the call isn’t made.

In a match more memorable for milestones and miscues than technique or tactics, the Montreal Impact scored first, scored last and managed to snatch a draw from the jaws of all-but certain defeat, tying the Chicago Fire 2-2 at Toyota Park.

"We had four two-versus-ones and at this level you've got to take them. If we took one of them I think we would've won the game comfortably," TFC head coach Ryan Nelsen said.

Challenging to the very end, Montreal’s last attempt came on a set play in the third of four minutes of added time. Romero’s cross sailed into the six-metre box and was met by Matteo Ferrari. The Italian central defender headed it towards the inside of the near post, picking a spot that was defended by five-foot-eight, 146-pound Rolfe rather than Johnson, a six-foot-three, 217-pounder.

But, the Whitecaps enjoyed their best-ever month in their MLS history; 12 out of a possible 15 points. And their Brazilian forward had a lot to do with it, scoring six times and adding two assists. No one in MLS came close to those scoring numbers in June, so that's why Camilo got The 11's vote.

In the end, Los Angeles Galaxy striker Mike Magee edged Montreal Impact midfielder Patrice Bernier for the March honour.

Darel Russell has only been a member of Toronto FC for a few weeks, but he joins an ever-growing list of Reds’ players whose late-game mistakes have cost the team points.

Mike Magee, who scored three times Sunday in that win over Chicago, won in a landslide in the first ballot of the season for the members of the North American Soccer Reporters.

In fact, anyone who had never seen the Whitecaps before Thursday’s playoff game would have likely said that Matt Watson — a guy who played in NASL last season — must be a Designated Player, not Robson or Miller.
