What happened on Wednesday evening at BMO Field isn't without precedent, and has the power to be a moment that stands the test of time for decades to come.

FT Toronto FC 1-1 Orlando City SC
90’ TFC have fizzled out here down the stretch. Surprised to see Perez has only made one substitution until now, when he brings on Patrick Mullins for Yeferson Soteldo. Soteldo, who has had probably his best game in a TFC kit, was not happy.
76’ VAR spoils the fun. Awards Orlando City a penalty. Nani steps up and barely gets it by a diving Alex Bono, who reached back and got a hand to it, but not enough to keep it out. Tie game once again.

TORONTO, Canada For the first time since September 2020, it will be a match day for Toronto FC in Toronto on Saturday evening when the Reds host Orlando City SC at BMO Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 PM EST and can be watched on TSN1 and TSN4.
There has been plenty of good news for the Reds over the last two weeks, and the club will hope to use that positivity on Saturday night. In the last two weeks, the Reds snapped their six-match losing streak, had interim head coach Javier Perez and designated player Yeferson Soteldo named to the MLS team of the week, seemingly have resolved the Jozy Altidore situation, and the club was finally able to announce that they will be hosting their first match in 10 months at BMO Field and do so while hosting seven thousand Reds faithful.

“We have two No. 1s. In my mind, in our minds…we see two No. 1s.”
TORONTO, Canada Let me preface this article by stating that this is not meant to be a knock on Alex Bono or his performances to date this season, and this will certainly not be a solution to all of the club’s problems early on, but in my opinion, Quentin Westberg deserves a start in goal for Toronto FC yesterday.
Getting the call for the Reds in net for the seventh-straight match Saturday afternoon in a 2-0 loss to the New York Red Bulls, Bono has been given a run of play by new head coach Chris Armas that he has not seen since 2018. Why?
