Kamara gave his side the lead in the 16th minute and also restored their lead a minute into the stoppage time in the first half after Montreal Impact had equalised 1-1.

Ivorian football legend and former African player of the Didier Drogba provided an assist and was also among the goal scorers for the Montreal Impact who came from 4-1 down to fight for a draw.
