Osorio’s Record: 14 Straight Seasons With A Toronto FC Goal
The Jonathan Osorio record is a record of staying. His equalizer arrived in the 64th minute, when Djordje Mihailovic’s in-swinging corner was headed on by Sargent and the ball deflected off Osorio’s back and past former Toronto goalkeeper Sean Johnson, narrowly confirmed onside after a lengthy video review. It was Osorio’s first goal of the season, in the club’s 33rd game in all competitions, and it means the midfielder has now played and scored in each of his fourteen seasons with Toronto FC, from 2013 through 2026, extending his own all-time club records. Waking The Red reported the wider mark on Wednesday night: scoring in 14 consecutive seasons for one club is a new Major League Soccer record, passing the 13 straight seasons Chris Wondolowski scored for the San Jose Earthquakes.
The club’s own media notes put the league context alongside it. Osorio becomes the first active player, and the seventh player in league history, to have played at least 14 seasons in MLS and scored in each of those seasons, joining Steve Ralston, Jaime Moreno, Jeff Cunningham, Dwayne De Rosario, Landon Donovan and Brad Davis. The goal was also his 70th for Toronto FC, making him the third player in club history to reach that mark after Sebastian Giovinco and Jozy Altidore, and it came in a season in which he had already become the first Toronto FC player to reach 400 appearances for the club. Asked post-game whether he would celebrate the milestone, Osorio kept the focus on the table: “You look at it and it’s something that for sure to be proud of, but honestly my focus right now is trying to make the playoffs for this team. It’s great, 14 seasons, playing and being able to contribute for this club that I love, I’ve said it many times. But right now my focus is just helping this team get into the playoffs.”
Sargent Completes The Comeback In The Home Finale
Toronto needed the comeback because the first half was flat. Dozzell was left open to score his first MLS goal in the 29th minute, guiding a low, left-footed finish into the corner from Silvan Hefti’s cut-back, and the Reds reached halftime without registering a shot on target despite holding most of the possession. The second half was a different game. After Osorio’s equalizer, Theo Corbeanu struck the post in the 86th minute and Sargent calmly guided the rebound home from near the penalty spot for his ninth goal of the season. Sargent finished with a goal and an assist, his 11th goal contribution of the year, and Johnson, facing his former club, did not record a save on the night.
Head coach Robin Fraser framed what Osorio means to this team beyond the record. “His intensity drives the team. Oso was here in some very bad years, and then he was here for some very good years, and he’s endured a number of bad years,” Fraser said post-game. “I think there is probably no one who wants to see the good years come again like he does because he’s been really on both extremes, and I know how much this means to him.” The win was Toronto’s last home game of the regular season, and it extended the Reds’ unbeaten home run since the FIFA World Cup break to eight matches (four wins, four draws). Across their first 20 MLS seasons, Toronto’s record in regular-season home finales now stands at 10 wins, five losses and five draws.
Toronto’s Playoff Chase Goes To The Road
The maths is now simple and hard. Toronto sits on 39 points with two games left, both away from BMO Field: at Atlanta United on Sunday, November 1, and at the Philadelphia Union on November 7. D.C.’s defeat, its fourth straight loss, ends its season’s playoff question for good, while Toronto improved to three wins, one loss and one draw in its past five. If the Reds do reach the postseason, Osorio would become only the second captain in club history to lead the team into the playoffs, after Michael Bradley, and there is a neat edge to the chase: the team Toronto is pursuing is the Bradley-coached Red Bull New York side.
Whatever happens in Atlanta and Philadelphia, Wednesday night at BMO Field now holds a permanent place in the club’s record book. Fourteen seasons, fourteen seasons with a goal, 70 goals in total, and the record-breaking one arrived the way so much of Osorio’s Toronto career has: late in a season, with the team needing it, in front of the home crowd. “Our fans deserve it,” Osorio said. “It’s great to win at home always and these fans are one of the best in the league. We’re doing everything we can to get this team into the playoffs and to give the fans what they deserve.”
