Vilsaint scores late Equalizer in Toronto FC debut to bind Columbus 1-1

Toronto FC’s new signings make an immediate impact in Saturday’s match against Columbus Crew at BMO Field. Jules-Anthony Vilsaint scored a late equalizer off a pass from Djordje Mihailovic, helping TFC secure a 1-1 draw.

Vilsaint, who had just joined the club days before, wasted no time making his mark. In his debut appearance, he scored the fastest goal in club history, leveling the score within minutes of stepping onto the field. Head coach Robin Fraser praised Vilsaint’s performance, highlighting his teamwork and contribution to the team.

Despite falling behind early to a goal from Columbus midfielder Diego Rossi, TFC fought back with Vilsaint’s equalizer. The team showed resilience and determination, ultimately earning a valuable point in the playoff race.

Mihailovic, another recent addition to the team, played a crucial role in setting up Vilsaint’s goal. His precise passing and vision were instrumental in creating scoring opportunities for TFC. With new players like Vilsaint and Mihailovic in the lineup, Toronto FC looks to be heading in the right direction.

The match also featured standout performances from goalkeeper Sean Johnson and striker Deandre Kerr. Johnson made several key saves to keep TFC in the game, while Kerr was a constant threat in front of goal. Fraser commended the team’s overall effort and fighting spirit, particularly in their recent matches against top opponents.

The draw against Columbus was TFC’s first home game in over a month, and the team will be looking to build on this result as they continue their push for a playoff spot. With a renewed sense of confidence and cohesion, Toronto FC is poised to make a strong finish to the season.
