Pereira’s 90th-minute goal earns TFC a point in 3-3 draw against Orlando City SC

Matheus Pereira secured a 3-3 draw between Toronto FC and Orlando City SC on Wednesday with a match-winning 90th-minute goal. The Canadian midfielder's strike, combined with Theo Corbeanu's goal and an assist, kept Toronto's slim playoff hopes alive. Orlando City SC's Daryl Dike and Antoine Griezmann scored late to take the lead, but Pereira's rebound proved decisive.

Toronto extended its unbeaten streak at BMO Field to seven games, currently sitting in seventh place with a 7-10-12 record in the Eastern Conference. Dike struck the go-ahead goal in the 83rd minute, after Griezmann had equalized earlier in the match. Orlando's Martin Ojeda converted a penalty kick in first-half stoppage time to equalize, following a handball violation by Toronto.

Toronto's Luka Gavran and Maxime Crepeau, a Canadian national team veteran, were the match's all-Canadian goalkeepers. The victory saw Orlando City SC draw even with Toronto FC in the standings, while Toronto maintained their unbeaten run at BMO Field.
