Tosaint Ricketts has been with Toronto FC for approximately two weeks, but already his presence is being felt.

Ricketts scored his first goal for Toronto FC since signing with them late last month, and it was enough to push the club to a 1-0 home win over Real Salt Lake on Wednesday. The decisive strike at BMO Field in Toronto, Ontario, came in the 68th minute, which was eight minutes after Ricketts entered the match as a substitute.

Neither side was particularly sharp in the final third during the course of the 90 minutes, but Salt Lake had a pair of decent opportunities to take the lead that were thwarted by Toronto netminder Alex Bono.

The victory improved Toronto FC to 9-7-6 and moved them into second place in the Eastern Conference. Real Salt Lake fell to 9-7-7 on the year but remained in fifth place in the Western Conference.
