Toronto FC collected three more points in the 2009 Nutrilite Canadian Championship with a 1:0 victory over the Impact de Montréal tonight. Toronto FC picked up its second-straight win in its “house”, this time over the very defending champions that stole last year’s trophy from TFC at BMO Field.
Chad Barrett, who entered the game as a substitution in the 16th minute, scored the lone goal on a terrific shot above the box. Toronto had plenty of chances, but could only manage one goal on the evening.

It has been brought to the Canadian Soccer Association’s attention that its official Referee Badge has been reproduced illegally and is being distributed for profit. These counterfeit badges do not comply with the Association’s 2009 Branding Guidelines and are not permitted to be worn by registered referees.
To determine if your badge is authentic, judge your badge against the correct Canadian Soccer Association logo. If the font is noticeably incorrect, the bottom portion of the ‘ball’ is stitched differently and has a raised texture, then your badge is most likely a counterfeit.
