Toronto FC needed a response after a flat first half at BMO Field, and they found one. Nashville SC took a deserved lead into the break, having controlled the ball for long spells, but Toronto came out with more urgency after the restart and turned things around to win 2-1 on Wednesday, 9 September 2026. Sallói was at the heart of it, his movement and quality up front dragging the home side back into a game that once looked like slipping away from them, and it was no surprise when he picked up the man of the match award, rated 8.79 for his efforts. Nashville will feel they had enough of the ball and enough of the corners to expect more, piling on eight to Toronto's three, but final-third execution let them down when it mattered. Toronto made their chances count instead, and the win lifts spirits heading into the next stretch of fixtures. For Nashville, it's a case of tightening up in front of goal after a night where territory didn't translate into points.
