Friday’s match marked the return of former TFC great Alejandro Pozuelo, who played at BMO Field for the first time since being traded to Miami in July. Pozuelo, 31, wasn’t a major factor in the match and received a lukewarm reception from the crowd of 27,703 when he was substituted out of the game late. Of course, with TFC trailing 1-0 after playing a pretty even contest against Miami, the BMO Field faithful weren’t in the mood to be too magnanimous.
“Lorenzo early in the game felt something lower leg,” said Bradley. “I thought he might have to come out. At halftime he felt like he could keep going. I’m not sure he had the same push in the second half.” TFC centre back Chris Mavinga made a great defensive move to prevent star Miami striker Higuain from breaking in alone for a shot. With about 12 minutes left in the half, Callender dove to his left to save another left-footed attempt Bernardeschi. And then it was Westberg’s turn to make a big stop, this time on Pozuelo.Article content
Laryea picked up a yellow card in the second half and will be suspended for Toronto’s final game of the season. That’s bad news on two fronts. With the World Cup coming up in November, Laryea needs all the game action he can get and now that’s been cut by one. His next match will now not be until Nov. 17, when Canada plays a friendly against Japan.Article content
