Game on.

The Montreal Impact's lead didn't last long Wednesday night, as two quick goals from Armando Cooper and Jozy Altidore vaulted Toronto FC into the lead at BMO Field.

A scrappy play in the Montreal Impact penalty area produced the goal that Toronto FC so desperately needed.

After Dominic Oduro silenced the home supporters with the opening goal, Cooper brought BMO Field back to life and cut the Impact's aggregate advantage to 4-3 when the ball fell to him for the close-range finish.

The deficit didn't last long as Altidore soared over his marker to knock his header in to make it 2-1 on the night, and 4-4 on aggregate.
