It was a battle of struggling sides. Both had not won in Major League Soccer competition since May 18.

Substitute Deandre Kerr scored for Toronto, which also benefited from a Jack Elliott own goal. Tai Baribo replied for Philadelphia, which saw it winless run extend to a club-record 10 games.

John Herdman's subs changed the game with Kerr, Lorenzo Insigne and Deybi Flores all playing a part in the TFC rally.

There was plenty of buildup but no finish for Toronto until the 74th minute when Jahkeele MarshallRutty, with a diving header, sent the ball in front of goal where Kerr and Elliott collided with the ball squibbing off a body into the net.
