Toronto, ON – The BMO Field and it’s fans , were witness to returning fight from their Canadian team.
With a first 45 mins of a frenetic going back and forth for both teams, special night to show another face of City without Kaka, a little bit unorganized in the midfield.
The expression of Greg Vanney changes like never before until the 63′ when Jay Chapman gets a rebound giving a breather to the Reds and making the 1-0.
But, Orlando responds at 70′ with a golazo by Cristian Higuita that gives back life to the group of the United States.
Just when everything looks like a tie match for the two teams, the young guy who replaced the suspended Sebastian Giovinco, scores another golazo by “bolea”. This guy is the TFC revelation, Ryan Telfer. All his teammates went to congratulate the new promise of the leader, Vanney!
Apparently the Reds are regaining the confidence and the performance required for a Champion team.
