Dorsch helps Toronto snap 12-game winless streak by beating New England 2-1
Toronto FC secured their first win in over four months, defeating the New England Revolution 2-1 on Saturday. Niklas Dorsch, a recently acquired German midfielder, netted his first-ever goal for the club, scoring the opening goal in the 43rd minute following an own goal from New England's Will Sands. Dorsch's well-placed shot from outside the penalty area gave Toronto a 1-0 lead, which they extended immediately before halftime.
Despite facing numerous challenges, including a red card to midfielder Djordje Mihailovic, the Revolution struggled to find an equalizer, with Wilson Harris scoring a late header in the 90th minute. New England dominated possession, controlling 65% of it and recording 25 shot attempts, but were only able to hit the target six times.
The match marked the first home game for Toronto since hosting parts of the FIFA World Cup in June and July.
