Montreal will take a one-goal advantage into next week's Canadian Championship semifinal second leg thanks to a Jack McInerney strike.
The Montreal Impact got their 2015 Canadian Championship off on the right foot with a 1-0 semifinal first leg victory over archrival Toronto FC on Wednesday night at Stade Saputo.
Both sides started reserve-heavy squads in anticipation of a hectic May schedule, with the Impact coming out on top thanks to a 68th-minute goal by Jack McInerney.
The first half saw neither side look too threatening, although the home team got the better of the chances.
