Toronto FC II returned to action after a lengthy break on Saturday evening, but despite scoring first, dropped a third-straight match, losing 3-1 to North Carolina FC at Sahlen’s Stadium in WakeMed Soccer Park.
Shaan Hundal opened the scoring after 20 minutes, rising up to meet a Kyle Bjornethun corner kick, but North Carolina’s Austin da Luz responded from a corner of their own eight minutes later. A controversial second half penalty kick, converted by Daniel Rios, broke the deadlock in the second half and Kyle Bekker added a third in short order to round out the scoring.
