Sargent Scores Winner in 86th Minute to Help Toronto FC to a 2-1 Win over D.C. United
Josh Sargent scored in the 86th minute on Wednesday to lift Toronto FC to a 2-1 victory over D.C. United at BMO Field, keeping the team's playoff hopes alive in the Eastern Conference.
Toronto entered the match three points outside a wild-card spot and desperately needed a win to remain in playoff contention, while the result eliminated D.C. United from postseason consideration.
Andre Dozzell scored in the 29th minute to give D.C. United an early lead, but Jonathan Osorio tied the game in the 63rd minute on Toronto's first shot on target.
Sargent's rebound goal came after Theo Corbeanu's shot hit the post; officials initially disallowed it for offside, but a video review confirmed the tally as valid.
Toronto will visit Atlanta on Sunday after finishing its home schedule with a 6-2-9 record, then closes the regular-season schedule on Nov. 7 against the Philadelphia Union.
