TORONTO – Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than be good.
TFC were both on Saturday in an amazing come-from-behind 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rapids at BMO Field.
Down 2-0 goals after 51 minutes, Toronto benefited from a wind-assisted goal by Richie Laryea and an outrageous own-goal via an egregious goalkeeper error by Zack Steffen before Josh Sargent scored the game winner with five minutes left in regulation.
The goal was Sargent's first in MLS since signing with the Reds last month. He also registered his first MLS assist on Toronto's opening goal.
Colorado’s Jackson Travis and Miguel Navarro were sent off on either side of halftime, while Toronto’s Raheem Edwards was red carded in the 49th in one of the wildest games at BMO Field in recent memory.
