Toronto FC roars back with two stoppage-time goals to stun CF Montreal 2-1

Toronto head coach Robin Fraser’s side had its opportunities after the Montreal goal.

Left back Matheur Pereira floated a shot from outside the box, narrowly missing the top corner in the 68th minute. Corbeanu was then stopped off the wing by a diving stop from goalkeeper Sebastian Breza.

Toronto enjoyed the better chances in the 0-0 first half. Breza made two dazzling stops against Daniel Salloi and Matheus Pereira from close quarters in the 11th minute.

Josh Sargent also shook loose in the box, but Montreal defender Brayan Vera recovered in time to knock the ball over the crossbar behind the Ottawa-born Breza in the 37th minute.

Six minutes later, Salloi’s bender from outside the box narrowly missed the left post.

Toronto lost goalkeeper Luka Gavran in the 23rd minute to a leg injury after the Hamilton collided with Montreal captain Prince Owusu in the 15th minute. Owusu called for a foul.

Gavran was attended to and stayed in until stepping aside for backup William Yarbrough.

The 37-year-old Mexican-born Yarbrough made his first appearance for Toronto and first MLS action since suiting up with San Jose on Sept. 21, 2024. Yarbrough made his first save on Alexis Sanchez’s attempt from outside the box in the 36th minute.
