Overview
- Toronto rallied from a 3-1 deficit to earn a 3-3 draw on Wednesday night when Dániel Sallói scored in the 77th minute and Niklas Dorsch equalized in the 90th.
- Walker Zimmerman received a straight red card in the 56th minute for a foul on Idan Toklomati, leaving Toronto down to ten players and prompting Charlotte to push the lead to 3-1.
- Niklas Dorsch scored the stoppage-time equalizer in only his third appearance for Toronto and now has two goals in three games, continuing a quick scoring impact since joining the club.
- Charlotte opened the scoring through rookie Rodolfo Aloko and also benefited from goals by Idan Toklomati and Henry Kessler, with Ashley Westwood supplying multiple assists.
- Toronto heads to Inter Miami on Saturday without Zimmerman because of the red-card suspension while Charlotte hosts D.C. United, and both matches will test whether Toronto’s late comeback signals sustained form.
