Pozuelo picture-perfect in MLS, TFC debut Globe_Sports
. It was TFC’s third win in as many MLS games, marking the first time since 2017 the Reds won three games in a row.By game’s end, the Reds’ newest designated player eased the considerable pain of losing both Sebastian Giovinco and Victor Vazquez from last year’s team.
And it was Pozuelo’s night, despite the fact he and his new teammates have had only a few days to practice before his debut. Pozuelo had to wait out protracted negotiations for his transfer from the Belgian side Genk and the rest of the Reds were coming off an international break. “The president said we need some guys to shoot the penalty,” Pozuela said. “I said, ‘I come to shoot the penalty. The first penalty I shoot I do the Panenka.’
However, that quickly changed with Pozuelo dropping behind Altidore, in the manner Vanney said earlier in the week he saw them working together. The fireworks followed quickly, although first there were two Toronto goals ruled offside.
