MONTREAL–It was a complete victory – historic in its size and consequence.
Toronto FC scored a team-record six goals last night to complete an improbable comeback and claim the first title in franchise history, that of Canadian champions.

For Toronto FC, scoring four goals in Montreal was never really the issue. Instead, the issue lay in how the Reds would not concede.
All week the headlines were written that Toronto needed to score this many or that many to win, but very few paid any attention to the fact that conceding just a single goal made the equation almost impossible. Quite the oversight for a team which boasts a minus-3 in goal differential and has not registered a clean sheet since Game 1 of the Nutrilite Canadian Championship.

Toronto FC defy the odds
Sean Gordon
Call it the Miracle on Turf.
Toronto FC is supposed to be the class of Canadian pro soccer, by dint of their MLS pedigree and squad full of internationals, and Thursday night they proved it in spectacular fashion, demolishing the Montreal Impact 6-1 at a rain-sodden Saputo Stadium.
In so doing, TFC delighted a small but vocal contingent of travelling fans by completing an improbable bid to represent Canada in the CONCACAF Champions League.

Toronto FC pull off miracle, win Canadian Championship
CBC.sport
Toronto FC pulled off the miracle in Montreal on Thursday, defeating the Montreal Impact 6-1 to take the 2009 Nutrilite Canadian Championship.
TFC came into the game needing a win by four or more goals to replace the Vancouver Whitecaps atop the final standings, and after a Tony Donatelli penalty kick gave the Impact a 1-0 lead in the first half it looked all but over for Toronto, as the team now needed to score five to take the title.

TFC pulls off shocker
Reds are Canadian champs after unexpected five-goal win over Montreal
THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL -- In the eyes of hometown hero and tournament MVP Dwayne De Rosario, there is little doubt that Toronto FC's miracle win last night to claim the Nutrilite Canadian Championship is the biggest victory in the city's soccer history.
"Definitely, because we haven't won anything," De Rosario said. "This is the only victory, but hopefully there's many more to come."

Toronto FC win championship in a shocker
Randy PhillipsMONTREAL • It was the sequel to the nightmare.
Toronto FC feasted on the Montreal Impact in a resounding 6-1 victory in the finale of the Nutrilite Canadian Championship. The win allowed TFC to edge the Vancouver Whitecaps on goal differential and earn a berth in the 2009-2010 CONCACAF Champions League.
"The team talked all about people writing us off," said TFC interim head coach Chris Cummins. "And we've criticized ourselves in the past for not scoring enough goals, but there is something special building with the club and we're going to use this to kickoff the team.

TFC steals title with six-pack of goals
SEAN GORDON-Montreal SUN
Because of their MLS pedigree and complement of international players, they are supposed to be the class of Canadian pro soccer, and yesterday Toronto FC showed they are, completing an unlikely bid to qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League.
Substitute Chad Barrett's downward header from an 82nd-minute Amado Guevara corner kicker was the decisive goal in a game Toronto dominated for long stretches and ultimately won 6-1 at a rain-soaked Saputo Stadium.

Toronto FC fill the net, win Voyageurs Cup
Randy Phillips, Montreal Gazette/Vancouver SUN
MONTREAL — The Montreal Impact allowed things to be more nerve-racking than they had to be and paid for it.
Toronto FC needed to score four more goals than the Impact to win Nutrilite Canadian Championship to advance to the coming CONCACAF Champions League tournament, and the Reds did precisely that in a resounding 6-1 victory in a steady drizzle before a paid attendance of 11,561 at Saputo Stadium Thursday night.

De Rosario's hat-trick lifts TFC
Toronto FC take home Canadian Championship
MONTREAL -- They said it couldn`t be done. It had been generally conceded that there was no chance that Toronto FC could win the Nutrilite Canadian Championship by defeating the Montreal Impact by four goals Thursday night. But not only did TFC do it, they did it one better.
Chad Barrett nodded home a corner kick from Amado Guevara in the 82nd minute to put Toronto FC ahead 5-1 and Guevara scored the insurance goal eight minutes later to make the final score 6-1 at Stade Saputo and give the club its first trophy.
