Love it or hate it, the MLS playoffs away goals rule can turn a tie on its head very, very quickly indeed. Looking down and out at 3-0, Toronto FC have scored twice to swing their Eastern Conference final against the Montreal Impact in their favour.

If the game ends 3-2, the Reds would qualify for the MLS Cup final with a 1-0 or 2-1 win or any victory by more than a goal. That’s not a bad spot to be in.

First, Jozy Altidore headed in a cute Sebastian Giovinco cross to make it 3-1 and breathe new life into TFC.
