When CS Saint-Laurent players ran onto the field to celebrate their upset win over the CPL's Halifax Wanderers FC, Rocco Placentino couldn't join them.Mamadou Kane converted the decisive spot kick in the 5-3 penalty shootout win May 2 that moved the Ligue1 Quebec champion into Wednesday's quarterfinal first leg of the Telus Canadian Championship against Toronto FC.
"It was meant to be where the last shooter had to wear No. 7. And it's a kid that really plays with 'la grinta' ," said Placentino, who won the 2008 Canadian Championship with Montreal. TFC had little problem dispatching League 1 Ontario's Simcoe County Rovers 5-0 in the preliminary round. But Herdman said he is treating this cup game like a mid-week MLS match."You may see Bernardeschi in this game," he added, referencing Italian star Federico Bernardeschi who did not see action against Simcoe.
"They all work, they all go to school. At the end of the day they do this to keep that little window of opportunity open for themselves," he added.
