Sebastian Giovinco scores twice to help TFC narrow playoff gap

Sebastian Giovinco scored twice to help Toronto FC keep its slim playoff hopes alive with a 3-1 win over the rival Montreal Impact on Saturday night.

It was a wide-open, entertaining game before 27,294 at BMO Field with lots of offence and precious little defence in the first 45 minutes. Their backs to the wall and needing points to climb back into the playoff picture, the reigning MLS champions led 3-0 after just 29 minutes.

TFC forward Sebastian Giovinco, fouled by Impact defender Rudy Camacho, scored twice in the first 22 minutes.

But the Impact roared back.
