Impact ends 1st-place Toronto's 11-match MLS unbeaten streak
Ignacio Piatti and Anthony Jackson-Hamel scored two goals each as the Montreal Impact ended first-place Toronto FC's 11-match unbeaten streak in Major League Soccer.
Toronto striker Tosaint Ricketts made it close with goals in the 77th and 79th minutes Wednesday as the home side attempted to recover from a 5-1 deficit after 51 minutes.
Toronto had not lost since July 1 when it dropped a 3-1 decision at FC Dallas, and had eight wins and three draws in that span. It was also unbeaten at home.
In the only other match Wednesday, Atlanta United scored three goals in seven minutes in the first half and extended its home unbeaten streak to 10 matches with a 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Yamil Asad, an attacking midfielder on loan from Argentine side Vélez Sarsfield, scored twice and Josef Martinez had his 17th goal for Atlanta.
Martinez opened the scoring in the 13th minute, his seventh goal in seven days, to move within two goals of New York City's David Villa for the Golden Boot top goal scorer award.
Jermaine Jones was given a straight red card for Los Angeles in the 39th minute.
