In a match full of goals, Toronto FC managed to secure victory in a football spectacle for their fans, although TFC took to the field with several rotations in their team.

For those who see little playing time under John Herdman's direction, this match would allow them a unique opportunity to demonstrate why they are playing for this club and how their role within it is positive to contribute to the team.

Toronto FC took to the field with this starting XI: Gavran - Thompson, Mabika, Long - Franklin, Longstaff, Coello, Marshall-Rutty - Osorio, Mailula, Owusu.

TFC's goal deluge in the first half

This XI for The Reds bore fruit for the match, as they put on a football spectacle for TFC fans in the first half. They scored all 4 goals of the match in the first half, with the scorers being: Prince Owusu, Cassius Mailula, Kevin Long, and Jonathan Osorio, ending the first half with a 4-0 lead.

BMO Field enjoyed a goal deluge in the first 45 minutes of play, but in the second half, it would decrease, leading to a calmer match for TFC, thanks to the changes made by coach John Herdman, who gave minutes to players like Andrei Dumitru, Sigurd Rosted, Deybi Flores, and Tyrese Spicer. However, the latter would seal the victory of the match by scoring 5-0, which would end the game in Toronto FC's thrashing.

A positive victory for Toronto FC

This first match leaves a very positive feeling for Toronto FC, as a football spectacle with so many goals is not seen every day, and TFC managed to give their fans a memorable day. Furthermore, their journey through the MLS continues to be long, and having the confidence they have been bringing in this season is a strength that will be reflected this year, in order to reach the coveted MLS Playoffs.
