Philadelphia Union 0 Toronto 2: Osorio brace lifts visitors
Toronto secured a valuable three points thanks to goals from Jonathan Osorio in either half at Talen Energy Stadium on Friday.
Toronto claimed a much-needed win thanks to Jonathan Osorio's brace in a 2-0 victory at Philadelphia Union.
MLS champions last season and CONCACAF Champions League finalists this year, Toronto had only won one of their past five games prior to Friday's trip to Philadelphia.
But Toronto secured a valuable three points via goals from Osorio in either half at Talen Energy Stadium.
Osorio opened the scoring in the 19th minute when Victor Vazquez's pass split two defenders and the former put the ball past Union goalkeeper Andre Blake.
