ORLANDO, Fla. — Sebastian Giovinco scored twice and set up Jozy Altidore’s goal to help Toronto FC beat Orlando City 3-1 on Wednesday night.
Altidore scored his eighth goal of the season in the 18th minute for Toronto FC (11-3-5). Giovinco split two defenders near the midfield circle, drew two more defenders at the top of the box, and found a wide open Altidore for a calm finish under Joe Bendik’s legs.
“I know we hit it out of the park in terms of playing two players that are different, but alike in some ways,” said Altidore on his chemistry with Giovinco. “We just compliment each other really well. I think it’s hard to find two strikers like that. First to be able to do it year after year for the past three years I think it is pretty special. Hopefully we could keep doing it, keep going, and keep helping turn this team around.”
Giovinco made it 2-0 in the 46th. Altidore ran past the defence for a through ball and patiently waited to find a trailing Giovinco for a chipped finish.
