TORONTO, Canada—Another match day, another pair of Toronto FC players in Major League Soccer’s Team of the Week as Pablo Piatti and Richie Laryea were named to the latest edition of the league’s standout performers following Sunday night’s dramatic 1-0 win over Atlanta United.
Both Piatti and Laryea played pivotal roles in The Reds’ 89th-minute breakthrough. First, Laryea created the opportunity down the right-hand flank—the position coach Greg Vanney believes is the versatile Canadian international’s best position—finding himself in a 1v1 position, driving at his defender before putting in a seeking cross.
