Tosaint Ricketts scored in the 90th minute to lift Vancouver Whitecaps FC past Toronto FC, 1-0, Sunday afternoon at BC Place.
With time winding down, Lucas Cavallini made a darting run down the left-hand side before squaring the ball to Ricketts for the tap-in, giving the Whitecaps the victory. The goal was the veteran striker’s first in MLS since 2020.
Toronto will feel hard done by as they thought they snagged a go-ahead goal in the 66th minute when Jayden Nelson jumped on a rebound and powered it into the back of the net, however, referee Victor Rivas blew the play down for a foul, deeming that Whitecaps’ goalkeeper Thomas Hasal had possession.
Hasal also denied Alejandro Pozuelo’s penalty in the first half, diving to his left to keep TFC off the scoresheet.
