Junior Flemmings and Michael Nanchoff scored 80 seconds apart in the 24th and 25th minutes to put Tampa Bay ahead 2-0, but Toronto rallied in the second half with scores from Dante Campbell and Malik Johnson. However, the Rowdies sealed the road win with two more goals as Hunter Gorskie scored a header in the 73rd minute to give Tampa a one-goal lead and Flemmings picked up his second of the night in the 88th minute. The win snapped a five-match road losing streak for the Rowdies.
