The Canadian Classique heats up again in Week 19 when the Montreal Impact meet Toronto FC at Stade Saputo. 


The Impact (9-9-3) are looking to bounce back from consecutive losses after falling to Minnesota United FC at home Saturday night. Anthony Jackson-Hamel's goal on 27 seconds was the fastest in MLS this season. Rudy Camacho followed in the 13th minute, four minutes after Mason Toye leveled for the Loons. But Ethan Finlay equalized again for the visitors from the penalty spot just before halftime and Toye struck for his second two minutes into the second half for the decisive goal.


Toronto FC (6-8-5) are clinging to the last playoff spot in the East after a 2-0 loss to the LA Galaxy July 4 in Carson. Zlatan Ibrahimovic broke the scoreless stalemate in the 75th minute and added an insurance goal one minute from full time. The Reds have only won once since May 4.
