The MLS runner up will head to BMO Field for next week's second leg versus the Impact with a crucial away goal in hand
Toronto FC and the Montreal Impact drew 1-1 in Wednesday's first leg of the Canadian Championship final at Stade Saputo, giving TFC a slight advantage ahead of next week's deciding leg at BMO Field.
The Impact's Matteo Mancosu opened the scoring, nodding in a rebound after TFC goalkeeper Clint Irwin couldn't hold on to a long-distance Marco Donadel shot in the 19th minute. Toronto striker Jozy Altidore scored the equalizer just over 10 minutes later after receiving a pass from Raheem Edwards near the penalty spot.
