Osorio's milestone goal gives TFC its first win of the season

TORONTO — Jonathan Osorio scored his 50th goal in all competitions for Toronto FC to defeat D.C. United 2-1 on Saturday, giving coach Bob Bradley his first win at TFC's helm.

The victory snapped a nine-game winless streak (0-5-4) in MLS play for Toronto that dated back to an Oct. 3 win over the Chicago Fire. It marked Toronto's longest winless league run since going 11 in a row without a victory in March-June 2013.

It was regular-season win No. 183 for Bradley, behind only New England's Bruce Arena and the late Sigi Schmid. Bradley is coaching his fifth MLS team.

Osorio notched the go-ahead goal in the 53rd minute, racing toward the back post and then sliding to get a leg to a Luca Petrasso cross. The 29-year-old Canadian midfielder, who has scored in all 10 of his MLS seasons, started the play when he intercepted the ball just inside the D.C. half. Four passes later, following a sprint to goal, Osorio put it in the back of the net for his second of the season — and 35th in career MLS play.

The goal came in Osorio's club-record 296th appearance for TFC in all competitions. Only Sebastian Giovinco (83) and Jozy Altidore (79) have scored more for Toronto.

D.C. opened the scoring in the 10th minute, taking advantage of some slack defending. Nigel Robertha toyed with Lukas MacNaughton on the left flank before floating in a cross to an unmarked Russell Canouse, whose angled header beat Alex Bono and found the corner of the goal.

Canouse was making his season debut, after missing the first three games with a groin injury.

Alejandro Pozuelo tied it in the 24th minute with his 25th goal for TFC in all competitions, sweeping home a ball flicked on by a Michael Bradley header at the near post off a Luca Petrasso corner.
