2. Toronto FC II pulled off its biggest win of the season so far as a pair of goals by Tsubasa Endoh
and some key saves at the other end by goalkeeper Caleb Patterson-Sewell saw the visitors down
Louisville City FC 4-1 at Slugger Field on Tuesday night. Endoh continued where he left off against
Indy Eleven last Wednesday night to produce a pair of high-quality finishes, the second off
a tremendous upfield move that saw a clever backheel by Shaan Hundal open up the shooting chance
on the left side that saw the Reds claim a major road upset.
LOUISVILLE CITY FC (1), TORONTO FC II (4)
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Tsubasa Endoh recorded two goals and one assist to lead Toronto FC II to a 4-1
victory against Louisville City FC at Slugger Field. Louisville thought it had taken the lead
in the 11th minute only for Kyle Smith to have strayed just offside before finishing off a good
passing move, and again 16 minutes later when Cameron Lancaster was caught by Toronto’s defensive line,
but it was the visitors that struck first in the 28th minute when Endoh got in behind the defense
and fired home a low finish into the right corner of the net for his second goal in as many games.
Louisville hit back in the 37th minute as a cross by Niall McCabe found its way to Ilija Ilic,
who made space to finish from 10 yards into the left corner, and it took a pair of big saves
by TFC II goalkeeper Caleb Patterson-Sewell to keep out a pair of good efforts by Speedy Williams
either side of halftime. Endoh put Toronto back ahead in the 64th minute with a low finish that
capped a great upfield move by the visitors led by Dante Campbell and Shaan Hundal, and Malik Johnson
added a third six minutes later after Matt Srbely had knifed through the defense on the right before
centering for the finish. Louisville pressed late to find a way back into the game, but Toronto
capped its victory in stoppage time as a three-on-one breakaway resulted in Endoh setting up Campbell
for a simple finish.
