Former Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama was introduced in the second half of Montreal’s 4-1 win over the Portland Timbers in a Major League Soccer game played on Sunday morning at the Saputo Stadium.

Wanyama came on in the 80th minute for Nathan Saliba ten minutes to the final whistle, as Montreal sought to reinforce their back line and protect the lead.

Sunusi Ibrahim gave Montreal the lead in the 26th minute before Kwadwo Opoku doubled the advantage minutes later.

Mathieu Choiniere added the third for the hosts in the 64th minute, before Mason Toye netted the fourth in the 76th minute.

Fortune Boli gave the visiting team something to smile about after pulling one back in the 86th minute.
