Toronto FC recorded its third win of the season on the road Saturday night, conceding Alejandro Pozuelo and Jozy Altidore's strikes in the second half against Canada's rivals, the Montreal Impact.

Pozuelo scored his eighth of the year in the 61st minute, capitalizing on midfielder turnover by Micheal Azira. His right-foot curler arrived after leading the Impact defense undefeated, leaving goalkeeper Evan Bush without much luck.

In the 65th minute, violent thunderstorms crossed Saputo Stadium, causing a 26 minute delay. Once the teams returned to the field, the game tipped the scales in favor of Montreal. Toronto goalkeeper Quentin Westberg made four saves, including a stunning 93rd-minute strike over Maxi Urruti at the front post.

As Toronto absorbed the pressure, they almost found an insurance strike in the 86th minute, but Bush was doing well to prevent a breakout of Justin Morrow. The rebound rebounded on Tsubasa Endoh, whose right foot shot was neutralized by Montreal defender Jukka Raitala.

The attack was doubled in the 95th minute on a stunner Altidore on a free kick. His shot took off from the post, giving him six goals a year.

Three things

  • GREAT IMAGE: Montreal lost its third consecutive game, and this one was stung more to come in Toronto. As for the Reds, the return of Michael Bradley and Jozy Altidore went well, and Omar Gonzalez made his quality debut. The post-match emotions were polar opposites, to put it lightly.
  • TIME OF THE MATCH: Altidore's 25-meter free-kick is the cause of this feat, and not just for the quality of the attack. The attack of the American men's national team celebrated by provoking the fans of Montreal, adding spice to the rivalry. It was the first match of Altidore since his participation for the USMNT at the Concacaf Gold Cup.

  • MAN OF THE MATCH: Gonzalez made his debut in Toronto and immediately took over as leader of the Reds. The defender of the USMNT completes his compatriot center Chris Mavinga was very successful and then organized a five-man backline when Eriq Zavaleta was hired to preserve the result.
