Toronto FC II (5W-5L-3T, 18 points) recorded a 2-0 victory over Inter Miami CF II (4W-8L-2T, 14 points) on Thursday evening, courtesy of first-half goals from Micah Chisholm and Marko Stojadinovic at York Lions Stadium.
TFC II Head Coach Gianni Cimini made five changes from Sunday’s side that started against FC Cincinnati 2 with Mark Fisher, Stefan Kapor, Patrick McDonald, Tim Fortier and Joshua Nugent coming in for Ythallo, Hassan Ayari, Michael Sullivan, Antone Bossenberry and Jahmarie Nolan.
The Young Reds capitalized on a fast start, breaking the deadlock early with a slick passing sequence through the midfield that ended with Malik Henry squaring the ball for Micah Chisholm to slot home.
The 11th minute goal marked Chisholm’s first professional goal and Henry’s third assist of the 2025 MLS NEXT Pro campaign.
TFC II doubled their advantage moments before the half-time whistle with a goal crafted in similar fashion. This time, Lucas Olguin played a perfectly-weighted through ball to Malik Henry, whose lay-off was coolly tapped in by the onrushing Marko Stojadinovic.
The 43rd minute strike marked Stojadinovic’s second goal of the campaign and Henry’s second assist of the Thursday night affair.
TFC II came close to adding a third when Patrick McDonald’s powerful left-footed strike from outside the box rattled the crossbar.
The hosts saw out the second half with composure and professionalism, thanks in large part to a series of key saves from goalkeeper Adisa De Rosario. The Young Reds’ disciplined display ultimately earned them a 2-0 win, a fifth clean sheet of the season and all three points from York Lions Stadium.
Following a bye-week next up, TFC II travel to face Orlando City B on Wednesday, June 25. Kick-off from Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida is set for 7:00 p.m. ET and and will be available to watch on MLSNEXTPro.com.
