Bernardeschi scores twice in Toronto FC rout of CF Montreal in rivalry matchup
MONTREAL — Theo Corbeanu and Federico Bernardeschi scored two goals apiece as Toronto FC took advantage of a 20th-minute red card to Joel Waterman and throttled rival CF Montreal in a historic 6-1 win Saturday.
CF Montreal 1 — Toronto FC 6

The Blue White Black lost 3-0 against his rival of the Toronto FC at that time, and was running out of a man since Joel Waterman was expelled at the 21st minute. In other words: it was a calamitous day.
