Toronto 3-0 Vancouver Whitecaps: Piatti stars at BMO Field
Pablo Piatti's first MLS goals helped Toronto to victory over Vancouver Whitecaps.
Pablo Piatti guided Toronto to a 3-0 win over Vancouver Whitecaps in MLS on Tuesday.
Piatti opened his MLS account with a double before Nick DeLeon's late goal at BMO Field as Toronto moved within a point of Eastern Conference leaders Columbus Crew.
The former Espanyol and Valencia attacker arrived at Toronto in February and showed his class.
Piatti unleashed a stunning 27th-minute opener for Toronto with a 30-yard rocket.
Toronto doubled their lead 10 minutes into the second half as Piatti struck again.
After receiving a pass from Jonathan Osorio, Piatti found the bottom corner from inside the area.
DeLeon came off the bench to seal the win in the 83rd minute, curling in after a wonderful pass from Alejandro Pozuelo.
