Pozuelo, Hamilton lead Toronto FC to win over Minnesota United. MORE:
Hamilton reflects on his hometown performanceTORONTO — Substitute Jordan Hamilton scored two goals in two minutes to give Toronto FC a 4-3 comeback win over Minnesota United on a wild Friday night.
Quintero, a Colombian international in his second MLS season, has 16 career goals including five against Toronto. Quintero scored Minnesota's first-ever hat trick in a 4-3 win over TFC last July.Minnesota finished with nine men. Jan Gregus was sent off in the 89th minute for a dangerous scissors tackle on Pozuelo and Francisco Calvo followed in the 91st after for a second yellow in two minutes for kicking out at a TFC player.
But Rodriguez tied it at 2-2 in the 57th minute, heading in a cross from Romain Metanire. Defender Laurent Ciman thought Rodriguez had fouled him but referee Ismail Elfath disagreed. The Good Friday contest was the first on the new hybrid grass at BMO Field. Polyethylene fibres, measuring 20 centimetres long, were stitched 18 centimetres deep into the ground every 20 millimetres, allowing the roots of the natural grass to attach to the fibres for a stronger, former surface. Green Bay's Lambeau Field has the same surface.
Pozuelo's goals woke Toronto up and the home side began to batter Minnesota. The Spaniard had a chance at the hat trick in the 37th but Mannone made a terrific save on his howitzer of a shot. Mannone was called into action a minute later, stopping a Nick DeLeon blast.
