Reggie Lambe and Ryan Johnson scored as Toronto FC beat the Montreal Impact 2-0 on Wednesday to advance to the Canadian Championship final.

Toronto was reduced to 10 men in the 16th minute when English fullback Richard Eckersley was shown a red card by referee David Gantar.

The teams drew 0-0 last week at Montreal in the opener. In the two-game final, Toronto will face the Vancouver-FC Edmonton winner for a spot in CONCACAF Champions League play.

Lambe scored in the second minute, and Johnson made it 2-0 in the 38th.
