Toronto 2 Orlando City 1: Telfer scores late winner
Even without Sebastian Giovinco, Toronto managed to overcome Orlando City in MLS.
A late goal from Ryan Telfer lifted Toronto to a 2-1 win over Orlando City in MLS on Friday.
Without suspended star Sebastian Giovinco, reigning MLS Cup champions Toronto claimed a much-needed win at BMO Field.
Cristian Higuita had cancelled out Jay Chapman's second-half opener, but the hosts found their winner through Telfer three minutes from time.
After Chapman put away a rebound in the 63rd minute, Orlando equalised through Higuita – who struck from 20 yards.

But Telfer was the hero for Greg Vanney's men, the 24-year-old's powerful volley from an Auro cross enough to beat Joe Bendik.
