It was a wet moment. It was a cold moment. But for Armando Cooper and Toronto FC, it was a key moment. It was the second leg of the Eastern Conference final. Down 1-0 in the game and 4-2 on aggregate, things did not look good for the Reds. Then, in the 37th minute, Sebastian Giovinco’s corner found the middle of the six-yard box and, a few touches later, the ball was in the back of the net. Cue the comeback.
But more than the goal itself, it was Cooper’s reaction that stood out.
