Embarrassment at BMO Field

A highlight of what could be the peak of embarrassment today at BMO

The Philadelphia Union visited Toronto FC earlier this afternoon at BMO field, and absolutely embarrassed the home side with a final scoreline of 6-2. The scoring started early in the second minute, Gabriel Farfan gathering a cross in the box and finishing it past TFC keeper Stephan Frei. Philadelphia struck again in the eleventh minute, Justin Mapp breaking through the mid-field and slipping the shot past Frei. Philadelphia netted their third just before the end of the half, courtesy of a right-footed shot by Kyle Nakazawa. TFC showed signs of life in the second half, thanks to two goals by midfielder Maicon Santos in the fiftieth and sixtieth minutes. Santos' goals meant very little though, as Mapp added his second goal of the match and the Union added a fourth only two minutes after Santos' second. Danny Mwanga capped off the Union's domination with two goals, one in the seventy second minute and another in the eighty ninth. Too make things even more embarrassing for TFC, philadelphia's keeper Faryd Mondragon almost joined in on the scoring during the duration of the match, after a goal kick took a wild bounce over Frei's head that had him scrambling back to keep the ball from finding it's way into the goal.

Two important notes regarding the match, this was only Philadelphia's second away win of the season and they nearly doubled their goal output having only scored eight in their last ten matches and Toronto conceded the most goals ever in this afternoons match in their relatively short five year history.
