Minnesota wins at Montreal ahead of visit from NM

FC Cincinnati ends its skid; LAFC scores record six goals

MONTREAL — Mason Toye scored twice to help the Minnesota United rally from a pair of deficits to defeat the Montreal Impact 3-2 on Saturday night. Ethan Finlay also scored for United (9-7-3). Anthony Jackson-Hamel and Rudy Camacho scored for the Impact (9-9-3).

Finlay got the tying goal after a controversial call just before halftime. Finlay was in a 1-on-1 with Montreal goalkeeper Evan Bush, who stuck out his leg to stop the ball. However, referee Alan Kelly called a penalty when Finlay went to the ground. After a review through the Video Assistant Referee, Kelly upheld his initial call and issued a yellow card to Bush.

Finlay then got his third goal of the year to tie it 2-2, prompting boos from the home crowd.

Toye’s second goal of the game, in the 46th minute, put Minnesota ahead for the first time at 3-2.

Minnesota’s next game is home against New Mexico United of the USL Championship division in the U.S. Cup.

LAFC 6, WHITECAPS 1: In Los Angeles, Carlos Vela scored twice and Los Angeles FC rallied to a club-record six goals after giving up the opening score against Vancouver.

SOUNDERS 2, CREW 1: In Columbus, Ohio, Nicolás Lodeiro scored his second goal in the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time to lift Seattle over the Crew.

Columbus (5-13-2) lost its fourth in a row and extended its winless streak to eight games.

FC CINCINNATI 3, DYNAMO 2: In Cincinnati, Rashawn Dally and Victor Ulloa scored their first goals and FC Cincinnati (4-13-2) beat Houston to end a six-game losing streak.

SPORTING KC 1, FIRE 0: In Kansas City, Kan., Yohan Croizet scored in the 14th minute and Sporting Kansas City held on to beat Chicago.

EARTHQUAKES 1, REAL SALT LAKE 0: In San Jose, Calif., Danny Hoesen scored in the third minute of second-half stoppage time to lead San Jose.
