Jonathan Osorio got his happy ending. In the MLS Cup final, the Canadian delivered what was perhaps the best performance of his career to help Toronto FC secure their first-ever championship.
But the road to that point wasn’t an easy one. Osorio struggled early in the season, lost his starting role, and ultimately played the fewest minutes of any year in his professional career. He started only nine matches during the regular season.
As part of a frustrating process to get back into the gameday eleven, he had to make changes in his game in order to carve out a role for himself.
