In the 63rd minute, Toronto’s intense attack generated a dangerous play in the box that ended with an own goal by Ian Muprhy to level the score at 2-2. Then, in the 79th minute, Orellano scored his second goal of the night to give Cincinnati a 3-2 lead. That wasn’t all, however, as Toronto’s attack once again paid off with a penalty kick, which was converted into a goal by Lorenzo Insigne in the 85th minute.
Finally, when everyone thought the match would end 3-3, Sergio Santos Gomes scored the definitive 4-3 to lead FC Cincinnati to victory.
