Jozy Altidore scored twice as Toronto FC earned its first win of the Major League Soccer season on Friday, a 3-1 victory over Real Salt Lake.
Tosaint Ricketts scored Toronto’s third goal late in injury time.
The fast-paced game also marked the first goals the defending MLS champion Reds (1-2-0) scored this season.
Altidore ended Toronto’s drought when he was taken down in the box by Justen Glad and awarded a penalty kick in the 23rd minute. Altidore calmly slotted the ball into the bottom left corner past goalkeeper Nick Romando.
His goal came seven minutes after Sebastian Giovinco missed on a penalty kick, firing it straight to an outstretched Romando — a repeat of last season’s opener when Romando stopped Giovinco’s penalty attempt.
