Didier Drogba netted his 12th goal in 12 games for Montreal Impact to wrap up a 3-0 victory over visiting Toronto in the USA Major League Soccer play-offs.
Teammates Patrice Bernier and Ignacio Piatti had given the hosts a two-nil lead in the 18th and 33rd minutes respectively, before Drogba's well taken finish six minutes from half-time effectively sealed the win.
Impact, who have seen their fortunes swing skyward since Drogba's midseason arrival in July, will now meet Colombus Crew over two legs next.
In the 12 games that the two-time African Player of the Year has played, the Quebec side have won eight, drawn one and lost three.
Impact will host Crew on Sunday at the Saputo Stadium.
