Argentine forward Lucas Janson makes good impression with Toronto FC

It’s been a whirlwind start to life with Toronto FC for forward Lucas Janson.

After arriving early last week, the 24-year-old Argentine went through a series of orientation meetings, picked up a medal after watching his new teammates win the Canadian Championship, celebrated his birthday and flew to San Jose, where he scored a goal on his debut in a 1-1 tie Saturday night.

Janson, who arrived on loan to Toronto, capped a nice TFC buildup with a comfortable tap-in of a Gregory van der Wiel cross after splitting the San Jose defence Saturday.
