TFC's Luka Gavran joins exclusive club with dramatic goal
Gavran netted a late equalizer for the Reds on Wednesday to become only the third goalkeeper in MLS history to score a goal.
TORONTO – For the second game in a row Toronto FC was able to salvage a point thanks to a late equalizer from the unlikeliest of goal scorers.
Kobe Franklin found the back of the net in the 88th minute of a 3-3 draw against Austin FC last Saturday, marking the young fullback’s first MLS goal in 69 MLS games for the Reds.
But goalkeeper Luka Gavran topped that feat with his injury-time equalizer in a dramatic 3-3 draw vs. the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday before an announced crowd of 15, 461 fans at BMO Field.
Down by one in the sixth minute of injury time, TFC threw players forward in search of a tying goal. The Reds turned the screws on the Union before Gavran nodded home off a dangerous cross deep into the box from Alonso Coello.
