Early in the second half, Giovinco controlled a Michael Bradley free kick and set up Justin Morrow whose diving header gave the Reds a 2-1 lead. TFC made it 3-1 moments later when Armando Cooper found Jonathan Osorio who used clever dribbling to beat the Fire backline before blasting the ball into the top corner of the net.
