Mancosu, Altidore trade goals as Impact, TFC draw 1-1 in Canadian Championship
MONTREAL — It was a 1-1 draw, but Toronto FC emerged with the advantage after an intense, if somewhat sloppy, encounter with the Montreal Impact.
Matteo Mancosu and Jozy Altidore traded goals in the first half on Wednesday night in the opening leg of the Canadian championship final at Saputo Stadium.
But with an all-important away goal in their pocket, TFC will have the advantage going into the second leg of the two-game, total-goals series next Tuesday at BMO Field in Toronto.
“Theoretically it’s a good result,” said Toronto coach Greg Vanney. “A 1-1 draw with a road goal. We’ll take it.”
