Toronto FC players ready if needed for penalties in MLS Cup final rematch
TORONTO — With Sebastian Giovinco subbed off in the 103rd minute after feeling sub-par, Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney was looking for penalty-takers.
So when the 2016 MLS Cup final ended knotted at 0-0 after extra time, Vanney turned to veteran defender Drew Moor.
“I remember with about three minutes to go in overtime, I kind of looked around the field and I thought I might be in the top five in the penalties,” said Moor.
“And Greg came up to me and said ‘Hey, are you ready to take a penalty?’ And I said ‘Ask around a little bit.’ And he kind of looked around, walked around for about 30 seconds, didn’t say a word to anybody, came back up to me and said ‘Hey do you want to take a penalty?’ And I said ‘Sure I’ll take one.’
