Real Salt Lake conceded in the first minute but rallied in the second half for a 2-1 comeback win over CF Montréal Sunday afternoon at a rainy Stade Saputo.
Fans needed to make it to the stadium early to see Montréal break the ice. Ahmed Hamdi found Djordje Mihailovic just below the penalty spot and the midfielder opened the score within the first 43 seconds of the match.
RSL tied the game up on a corner kick in the 54th minute as Justin Glad towered over the Montreal defense and headed the equalizer.
The visitors found the go-ahead goal in the 66th minute when Sergio Cordova freed himself on the right side of the box before beating Sebastian Breza with a shot from a tight angle.
