Toronto FC vs. New England - The Canadian PressTORONTO — Prince Owusu's spectacular 66th-minute strike helped Toronto FC snap its three-game Major League Soccer losing streak with a 1-0 win over the struggling New England Revolution on Saturday.
It was the fourth goal of the season for the German forward, who scored twice off the bench in last week's 3-2 loss at Charlotte. Toronto was without its talisman, with Italian star Lorenzo Insigne still nursing a hamstring injury, and fielded a makeshift defence with Kevin Long suspended and Shane O'Neill injured.
Nacho Gil had a good chance in the 39th minute off a corner but Nicksoen Gomis got a leg in front of his hard, close-range shot. Soon after Johnson stopped a long-range effort from New England captain Carles Gil, Nacho's older brother.New England came on as the first half wore on, accumulating five corners before the break.
