VAUGHAN, Ontario – Toronto FC II earned victory against FC Tucson in its home opener on Friday evening 
as it broke a three-game losing streak. Toronto took the lead in the 37th minute on the first big chance 
of the game as Jordan Perruzza slid Jacob Shaffelburg in behind the Tucson defense on then left 
and then made a run to the back post where Shaffelburg picked him out with a clipped cross Perruzza 
headed home. The Reds almost added to their lead early in the second half as Perruzza was denied 
by Tucson goalkeeper Philip Ejimadu after breaking in behind the back line, and moments later 
Griffin Dorsey fired wide of the left post. Tucson almost leveled the game with 16 minutes to go when 
Jamael Cox hit the right post on a first-time finish, while Toronto’s Jordan Faria curled a finish 
just wide of the right post for the hosts moments later, but despite some missed late opportunities 
for TFC II to ice the game Perruzza’s goal proved enough to see it home.
