Mihailovic caps Toronto FC's epic Canadian Classique comeback

In an epic Canadian Classique showdown on Saturday, Toronto FC staged a miraculous comeback to secure a 2-1 victory over arch-rivals CF Montréal. With the score at 1-0 to the visitors at halftime, the Toronto Reds turned the tide thanks to goals from Lewis Morgan and Djordje Mihailovic in stoppage time, sealing a 2-1 triumph. Morgan, who joined TFC from San Diego FC earlier this season, scored the opening goal in the 93rd minute, marking his first regular-season goal since October 2024.

Mihailovic, who has a history with Montréal, added a second goal two minutes later, sending BMO Field into rapturous celebrations. The Serbian international expressed his appreciation for playing for Toronto against the fierce local rival, saying, "Now I’ve scored on both sides of this derby. It feels good." Toronto FC’s victory snapped a three-game losing streak and brought their points tally to 32, just one shy of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

With six games remaining in the season, including a crucial home match against Orlando City on Wednesday, Mihailovic emphasized the team's determination, stating, "We’re slowly trying to creep up into that last playoff spot. Two more games at home, we need them."
