Toronto FC vs. San Diego FC: 3 takeaways

After a late collapse that cost it a win last weekend, Toronto FC rebounded by putting in one of its best performances of the season and showed it had some backbone. 

TFC earned an impressive 1-0 victory over San Diego FC on Wednesday, a result that allowed them to climb two spots up to 12th in the Eastern Conference. Theo Corbeanu's 20th-minute goal was the difference on the night for the Reds, who earned their second win in eight games to breathe a bit of life into their playoff hopes. 

"We felt like we had a point to prove today, especially after an unlucky result against Atlanta," Corbeanu told reporters after the win. 

Here are my three major takeaways from Wednesday's match.
