CS Saint-Laurent 0, Toronto FC 3

Toronto FC scored three times after halftime to cruise to a 3-0 victory over Ligue 1 Québec side CS Saint-Laurent at Complexe sportif Claude-Robillard in Montréal.

Just four days removed from his first goal for the Reds, Matty Longstaff netted his second, giving the visitors the lead five minutes into the second half with a venemous strike in the box.

DeAndre Kerr doubled Toronto's lead nine minutes later with a clinical low finish inside the far post, just after the hosts had shouts for a penalty kick for a possible handball in the box. Federico Bernardeschi saved the best for last, a curling free kick in the 76th minute to make it 3-0.

Toronto FC will take those three away goals back to BMO Field for the second leg May 21.
