Jozy Altidore scores as Toronto defeat Montreal

Toronto have beaten Montreal Impact 3-1 in MLS thanks to goals from Michael Bradley, Jozy Altidore and Sebastian Giovinco.

Shots from Collen Warner and Giovinco were saved in the opening 15 minutes, and it was Montreal who struck first with 19 minutes on the clock.

Ambroise Oyongo found the back of the net to score his first goal of the season.

Montreal only held the lead for eight minutes though, as USA international Bradley netted from the edge of the area to level the scores.

Giovinco looked likely to score towards the end of the first half, but Evan Bush saved three of his shots as the team went in at the break level.

Toronto took the lead in the 56th minute when former Sunderland striker Altidore, making his first appearance since an injury, scored his sixth goal of the season.

They nearly had a two-goal lead three minutes later, and it was Giovinco once again. This time, his shot rebounded off the post.

Giovinco finally got his goal in the final eight minutes when he was fouled in the box by Bakary Soumare. He stepped up and rifled the penalty into the back of the net to score his eighth goal of the season.

Dominic Oduro and Ambroise Oyongo both missed the target in the final five minutes and Toronto sealed the victory.
