Antoine Griezmann and Theo Corbeanu each tallied a goal and an assist.<\/p>\n<p>Fresh off a late equalizer against Montreal four nights before, Lewis Morgan leapt into Corbeanu&#8217;s floated cross from the touchline, placing it into the corner of goal to make it 1-0 in the 27th minute. Crepeau made no attempt to get a glove on the perfectly placed header from near the penalty spot.<\/p>\n<p>Ojeda tied it on a penalty kick in first-half stoppage time, directing a low, powerful strike just inside the post. Pereira was unlucky to concede the spot kick, the ball bouncing off the turf and hitting him in the wrist. The penalty was Orlando&#8217;s only attempt on target in the first half.<\/p>\n<p>Niklas Dorsch picked off a poor pass from Ivan Angulo and jinked around a defender, but was denied by Crepeau on a one-on-one. The ball skipped off Daniel Salloi and into the path of Corbeanu, who poked it in at the far post to give his team the lead in the 49th minute.<\/p>\n<p>Griezmann tied the game 2-2 in the 77th minute, Iago Teodoro knocking the ball into his path. Toronto&#8217;s Josh Sargent failed to clear the original ball off a set piece.<\/p>\n<p>Griezmann let Ivan Angulo&#8217;s ball slip through his legs and into the path of Daryl Dike, who curled the ball past goalkeeper Luka Gavran to make it 3-2 in the 83rd minute.<\/p>\n<p>Salloi headed the ball into the back of the net in the 14th minute but the goal was chalked off on an offside.<\/p>\n<p>The result marked Toronto&#8217;s ninth draw at home on the season and the eighth time they came from behind to record at least a point.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Field Level Media<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 Field Level Media.
