United 2-1
TORONTO (AP) --- Josh Sargent scored a go-ahead goal in the 86th minute to help
Toronto FC beat D.C. United 2-1 on Wednesday night.
Sargent calmly slotted home a rebound for his ninth goal of the season after
Theo Corbeanu's shot bounced off the post. It was the ninth time this season
Toronto has scored a tying or go-ahead goal in the final 10 minutes of a game.
Toronto (9-11-12), which finished its home schedule with a 6-2-9 record, needed
the win after entering three points outside of a wild-card spot in the Eastern
Conference.
D.C. United (7-13-12) was eliminated from playoff contention.
Andre Dozzell scored his first goal for D.C. United in the 29th minute. Dozzell
settled a back pass from Silvan Hefti and sent a low shot off the right hand of
a diving Luka Gavran that went inside the far post.
Toronto tied it at 1-all in the 63rd on its first shot on target. Sargent
elevated for a header that deflected off Jonathan Osorio's back and past
goalkeeper Sean Johnson. The goal, originally given to Sargent, was initially
disallowed due to an offside flag but a video review confirmed it was a good
goal.

D.C. United: Plays at Columbus on Saturday.
Toronto: Plays at Atlanta on Sunday.
