FC Cincinnati vs Toronto
Match Report
Toronto FC stunned FC Cincinnati with a smash-and-grab 1-0 victory at TQL Stadium on Saturday night, courtesy of a late strike from Dániel Sallói. The Hungarian winger, a February arrival from Sporting Kansas City, picked the perfect moment to open his Toronto account.
The decisive moment came in the 86th minute when Cincinnati goalkeeper Roman Celentano — otherwise impressive on the night — gifted possession with an errant throw straight to Richie Laryea. The Toronto fullback drove forward and slipped in Sallói, who drilled a low right-footed finish past the stranded Celentano.
The stats told a frustrating story for the hosts. FC Cincinnati dominated possession and outshot Toronto 15-10, yet managed just two efforts on target compared to seven for the visitors. It was a clinical away display.
The result is historic for Toronto FC — their first-ever goal and win at TQL Stadium, ending a run of five visits without scoring. For FC Cincinnati, it is back-to-back home defeats to open the season and early cause for concern.
