Soolsma's the first person to score four goals in the final since 1962, and only the third to do it in the history of the trophy.

We looked back at Toronto FC’s disastrous 2012 campaign, but we broke down the games minute by minute. From that, we came up with a goal difference for every player on the Reds, similar to a plus-minus in hockey.

Toronto FC announced that it has parted ways with Dutch forward Nick Soolsma “by mutual consent.”

Team president Joey Saputo shared his displeasure with the evening’s entertainment, tweeting a short and far from sweet “Absolute disgrace, enough said,” at the conclusion of play.

It hasn't taken Paul Mariner long to master the initiation of any Toronto FC head coach: watching his team give away points thank to stoppage-time allowances.

But it all came undone as poor defending gave Houston the opportunity to steal a point at home on a hot, humid night in its brand new BBVA Compass Stadium.

According to the Houston Police Department’s Jail Division information service, bonds of US$267 each were placed on Soolsma and Aceval, but there is no bond listed for Silva. Silva is an American citizen, the other two are not.

The streak is over. Toronto FC finally got on the board for the 2012 MLS campaign, winning a 1-0 result over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday at BMO Field that ended the Reds' record stretch of nine consecutive losses to begin the season.

But, make no mistake: Even though the Whitecaps’ home legs of 2011 and 2012 had different feels — a game of wasted chances vs. a crazy comeback goal — the results were the same. Toronto FC escaped in each instance with a positive result — and a road goal.

With the Vancouver Whitecaps down 1-0, the big Frenchman reached into his bag of magic tricks and pulled out one his finest efforts yet, hitting a powerful volley into the top right corner of Milos Kocic’s goal.
