In a game that saw the return of Sebastian Giovinco to the side and referee decisions seemingly swing momentum towards Toronto, the Canadian side were unable to make their two-man advantage count and went down to a two-nil loss against a hard-working and determined San Jose side.
Bono will want to forget this match quickly
Alex Bono, 3: This match is one that Bono will not want to see again. He was fully responsible for San Jose's second and winning goal as he completely misjudged the shot by Dawkins and let it sail right by him in the 70th minute.
Steven Beitashour, 7: Beitashour did exactly what was asked of him by defending his flank and pushing forward when the game swung in favour of Toronto. He put in some great crosses over the course of the match, one which led to the equalizer for Toronto and another that was cleared off the line. His only blemish tonight will be that he was one of the three defenders that Dawkins managed to get by to score the winner for San Jose.
Josh Williams, 6.5: Williams had a steayd game for the most part but he will be disappointed at himself for letting Dawkins find space to get his shot away which led to the winner for San Jose.
Drew Moor, 6.5: Like his centre-back partner, Moor also was largely untroubled. He did however seem to lose Amarikwa for San Jose's first goal and was one of the three defenders that should have closed down Dawkins for San Jose's second.
Justin Morrow, 7.5: Man of the match for Toronto. As he usually does, Morrow got up and down the left flank very well and once space opened up for him he tried to get endline as much as he could to swing in some potentially dangerous crosses. Morrow also got the only goal of the match for Toronto as he got onto the end of Beitashour's cross and slid in for the goal.
A lack of cohesiveness by Toronto's midfield
Jay Chapman, 5: Chapman had a quiet game in midfield and he seemed to drift in and out for large parts of the match. Even withthe extra time on the ball that a two-man advantage gave Toronto, Chapman could not produce any telling passes.
Benot Cheyrou, 5: Cheyrou was another TFC player who was largely anonymous for most of the match. He strung passes together in midfield when he could but nothing telling.
Tsubasa Endoh, 6.5: Endoh was the most influential of Toronto's midfield tonight and he was the victim of the two fouls which led to red cards for San Jose. Once Toronto began to push for goals, Endoh was constantly getting out wide to send crosses into the box but not many could find a Toronto player.
Jonathan Osorio, 4.5: Osorio did not have a good game and his inability to consistently feed his strikers with good passes led to his subtitution in the second half.
The strikers had no joy tonight
Jordan Hamilton, 4: Hamilton was non-factor in tonight's match and he was well-marked by San Jose's centre-backs. Along with receiving almost no service from his midfield for most of his time on the field before being substituted, Hamilton's goal streak came to an end tonight.
Sebastian Giovinco, 5: After tonight, Giovinco has now not scored in eight matches for Toronto and the frustation is beginning to show. He had over ten shots in tonight's match but failed to find the back of the net with any of them. His famed precision in front of goal seems to have deserted him for the time being.
Marco Delgado/Nick Hagglund, 4: Both players came on at the same time to try and help Toronto find some goals but neither of them made any huge impact on the match.
