The victory was also sweet redemption for Toronto ‘keeper Alex Bono, who made some great saves in the second half to preserve the win after letting in a couple of iffy goals in the previous two games. It was Toronto’s third clean sheet of the season. The Reds scored four goals against Charlotte in the first half the first time the two sides met this season on July 23 at BMO Field , but Toronto couldn’t muster a shot on goal in the opening 45 on Saturday night. For a team supposedly fighting tooth and nail to get into the playoffs, TFC looked rather listless in the first half.Article content
Toronto opened the scoring a minute later on a magnificent corner kick by Bernardeschi who found his countryman at the back post and Insigne right-footed a shot into the top left corner.
