Toronto F.C. won a massive match on Saturday night over the Philadelphia Union, as two of the top clubs in the Eastern Conference battled it out.

A thrilling first half performance gave Toronto F.C. their fourth win in their past five matches. All four goals of the match came in the opening 45 minutes. Once again Sebastian Giovinco provided highlight reel quality, as he continues his excellent run of form.

How it Happened

It was Giovinco that came up with the first real chance of the match when his well placed free kick caused Andre Blake to make a diving save.

Just a few minutes later the Italian would find the opening goal with a shot that hit both posts before going in. A lovely first touch was another moment to add to his highlight reel this season. The goal puts him into the first spot among the leagues top goal scorers with 16.

The Union would equalize in the 24th minute when Ken Tribbett headed home a Tranquillo Barnetta free kick. Giving the defender his second goal of the season.

Five minutes later Toronto would go back on top. Drew Moor was the goal scorer, as he turned home a Michael Bradley free kick with a diving header.

Jozy Altidore would add the third goal for the away side in the 44th minute. The American forward has now scored four goals since returning from injury.
