Josh Sargent to Start for Toronto FC Against Columbus Crew
Josh Sargent will make his first start for Toronto FC in Saturday's game against the Columbus Crew. The match at BMO Field is Toronto's second during a nine-game homestand.
Toronto FC will give Josh Sargent more playing time, as the recent big signing is scheduled to start Saturday's game versus the Columbus Crew. Sargent debuted for Toronto FC last Saturday, coming off the bench in the 70th minute of a 1-1 draw against the New York Red Bulls. During that appearance, a shot by Sargent, connecting with a served-in ball by Djordje Mihailovic, was blocked. TFC Head Coach Robin Fraser told reporters that Sargent demonstrates quality, holds the ball under pressure, times his runs, and puts himself in goal-scoring positions. Fraser believes Sargent will improve with time. Columbus has yet to win a game this season.
