Giovinco, Vazquez and Chapman score as Toronto FC blanks Philadelphia Union 3-0
Toronto FC started the day in the Eastern Conference basement and finished it looking more like the team that won the MLS Cup last season.
Victor Vazquez, Sebastian Giovinco and Jay Chapman scored as Toronto FC turned in a complete effort in Friday’s 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Union on a windy and chilly evening at BMO Field.
The host side had several regulars on the shelf with injuries, but still turned in a quality performance. Quick, precision passes were used to break down the Union defence and Toronto took advantage of its opportunities when it got in close.
Vazquez tallied in the 29th minute and Giovinco scored in the 65th — his first goal of the Major League Soccer season — as Toronto (2-4-1) earned its first league victory in five weeks. Chapman added an insurance goal in the 90th minute.
