Owusu found the net for the first time after a long run in the first minute of stoppage time to cut it to 2-1 at halftime.
Tai Baribo scored his seventh goal — on a PK in the 51st minute for a 3-1 lead. Brayan Vera's foul on Lucas Bartlett led to the kick.
Montreal pulled within 3-2 in the 61st minute on another goal by Owusu. Former Red Bulls midfielder Wiki Carmona assisted.
