Throughout the game, both teams battled fiercely, with Toronto struggling to break through New England's solid defence.

Ryan Spaulding's clearance attempt fell to substitute Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty, who then assisted Owusu in executing an acrobatic backheel goal.

This victory marks Owusu's fourth goal of the season, adding to his impressive performance in the previous match against Charlotte where he scored twice after coming off the bench.
