News Room

TORONTO (AP) – Jozy Altidore returned to action with a goal and Toronto FC – playing at home in front of fans for the first time since March 2020 – tied Orlando City 1-1 on Saturday night. Altidore’s 72nd-minute feel-good moment at BMO Field was negated five minutes later by Nani’s tying penalty kick. Altidore came on in the 64th minute to a standing ovation. He last played May 22 due to a falling out with former coach Chris Armas. Toronto (2-8-3) played its first game at BMO Field since Sept. 1 and the first with fans in the stands since March 7, 2020. Orlando is 6-3-4. CF MONTREAL 5, FC CINCINNATI 4 MONTREAL (AP) – Ahmed Hamdi scored the tying and winning goals in a late three-goal burst and CF Montreal beat FC Cincinnati in its return to Canada.
