Forwards
Lorenzo Insigne opened his MLS account with the game-winning goal in Toronto FC’s 4-3 win at Nashville last round. He now has a goal and an assist in limited minutes through his first three MLS games.
A home game against a Portland Timbers team that shipped four goals in their last road match could see the Italian star forward make his mark at BMO Field for the first time.
