It has not won since May 18 when it thumped semi-pro CS Saint-Laurent 8-1 in the cup quarter-final. It was the second freakish goal Gavran had conceded in as many games. Atlanta forward Jamal Thiare caught the Toronto backup ‘keeper napping in the 97th minute on June 29, coming from behind to pilfer the ball – as Gavran was about to boot it forward – and put it in the open goal for a 2-1 win.
Toronto made changes at the break, bringing on Matty Longstaff and Owusu. Kevin Long, Jahkeele Marhall-Rutty and Kerr came on later as coach John Herdman looked to find a way back. Forge was missing injured forward Terran Campbell while Mexican fullback Daniel Parra was suspended for yellow card accumulation.
Forge defeated CPL rival York United 3-1 in the preliminary round before upsetting CF Montreal 3-2 on aggregate in quarter-final play.
