Five minutes after, a overhead bicycle kick by Dwayne De Rosario off a corner equalized the score in the 34th minute. The howls of the Montreal Ultras mixed with the delight of the Toronto supporters.
It was poorly saved by Djekanovic, and it would be the beginning of a night worth forgetting for the Impact goalkeeper. His overall performance started to melt like the cake left out in rain at the famous, yet mythical, MacArthur Park.
In the 39th minute, De Rosario's first touch led to a second goal for Toronto.
At halftime, the scoreline read 2-1 Toronto. Vancouver was still on track to take the cup by a three-goal differential.
That would all vanish, along with a year of frustration for TFC, in the second.
In the 49th minute, Montreal were clamoring for an offsides call, but official Carol Anne Chenard would have none of it as De Rosario made it 3-1 Toronto.
Somewhere in British Columbia, fans donning the blue and white of the Whitecaps were in worrying disbelief, as if their own empire were crumbling before their very eyes.
In the many bars and restaurants that had the game live, there were early celebrations on Donatelli's penalty, but Dwayne De Rosario's hat trick took the air out of the province.
In the 69th minute, a free kick by Guevara sent it in the top left corner. Djekanovic had no chance of saving that. 4-1 Toronto.
And in the 82nd minute, Guevara's corner found Chad Barrett—the same Chad Barrett who scored the decisive goal at BMO Field 43 days ago—impaling both Montreal and Vancouver.
