Toronto FC recorded their third road win of the season Saturday evening, riding second-half strikes from Alejandro Pozuelo and Jozy Altidore to a 2-0 win over Canadian rivals Montreal Impact.
Pozuelo logged his eighth of the year in the 61st minute, capitalizing on a midfielder turnover by Micheal Azira. His right-footed curler came after driving at the Impact’s defense entirely unchallenged, leaving goalkeeper Evan Bush with little chance.
Come the 65th minute, lightning storms rolled past Stade Saputo, prompting a 26-minute weather delay. Once teams returned to the pitch, the match tilted in Montreal’s favor, though Toronto goalkeeper Quentin Westberg finished with four saves, including a 93rd-minute stunner on Maxi Urruti.
As Toronto absorbed pressure, they nearly found an insurance strike in the 86th minute, though Bush came out well to deny a Justin Morrow breakaway. The rebound bounced out to Tsubasa Endoh, whose right-footed strike was cleared off the line by Montreal defender Jukka Raitala.
The lead was ultimately doubled in the 95th minute on an Altidore stunner off a free kick. His strike rattled off the post and in, giving him six goals on the year.
