Toronto wore alternate pink jerseys in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. "I'm going to maybe ask for the jersey so I can score more goals in the future," joked the Argentine Vitti through a translator. "I was happy. I was looking for the goal for a long time, and finally I got it."
It was the third win in a row for Toronto, and its second victory in 11 days over New York, which TFC also beat 2-1 on June 13. With those two wins against the Red Bulls sandwiched around Toronto's Nutrilite Canadian Championship-winning 6-1 triumph in Montreal last Thursday, TFC is in good form. The three-game win streak comes on the heels of a three-game losing streak, when the Toronto forwards (particularly Vitti and Chad Barrett) were criticized not putting away a multitude of scoring chances. But Barrett scored the tournament-clinching goal in Montreal, and on Wednesday Vitti scored a goal that should prove crucial to his confidence. In spite of some of the criticism Vitti had faced from the fans, the BMO Field faithful gave him a raucous ovation following his goal, even chanting his name. "That encouraged me and gave me a lot of confidence," Vitti said. "Not just from the fans, but also from my teammates. It was great."
