Goal Cornell Glen
 
90′
Earthquake goal! They break TFC hearts with a late flurry - a poor clearance fell to Cornell Glen and he buried it. TFC are out of the playoffs on a last second injury-goal.
 
90′
Yellow Card Jim Brennan
 
90′
Four minutes of stoppage and it's nitty-gritty time. TFC capt. Brennan wastes time, earning a card for it.
 
88′
Convey with a probing cross, but TFC clear the danger away.
 
86′
DeRo with a low, hard shot, forces a diving save from Cannon. TFC are close now to the winning result, but if they concede a draw, their playoff hopes are over.
 
83′
An attacking flurry for the Quakes but the TFC players fight tooth and nail to hold their lead. Attakor heads the ball over his own bar, preventing a goal.
 
81′
Substitution Chad Barrett Pablo Ernesto Vitti
 
80′
Now Barrett is down and looks to be in pain. Could just be cramps, though.
 
78′
Substitution Shea Salinas Cornell Glen
 
76′
Bad news for Hernandez - doctors think he's got a fracture and are sending him for X-rays.
 
74′
Yellow Card Quincy Amarikwa
 
69′
Not a smart tackle by Serioux on Convey. He didn't have a chance at that ball and he came in gangbusters anyway.
 
69′
Yellow Card Adrian Serioux
 
66′
SJ Corner kick, it's cleared out but then goes out for an SJ throw. MacDonald takes it, but Edwards comes way out to make the grab.
 
63′
Nice run of attacking play by TFC is broken up by the Quakes, who push forward quickly in search of the equalizer.
 
59′
Oooh, Hernandez is hurt - was trying to prevent TFC's second goal and now he's gone. Quincy Amirakwa takes his place
 
59′
Substitution Jason Hernandez Quincy Amarikwa
 
47′
Goal Nana Attakora
 
46′
This time, TFC starts the second period off right! DeRosario curves in a cross and Nana Attakor sidefoots it into the goal for a Toronto lead.
 
45′
TFC gets the last attack of the first half, though, but Barrett's sliding shot goes wide.
 
41′
SJ making a charge before the half - Salinas puts his shot over the bar, though.
 
33′
Corner kick for SJ, but TFC is able to deal with the danger. Corrales attempts a long outside shot, and it goes wide.
 
30′
The first half hour has passed and though TFC have had the better of play, there is no goal to show for it.
 
23′
Corner kick leads to throw for TFC, which mean Serioux, of course - and there's a header low to goal! OOOOOh, Cannon comes up with the save, just barely - right on the line.
 
20′
Yallop has SJ pulled back, so they aren't making things easy for TFC.
 
18′
For a team desperate to make the playoffs, TFC don't seem desperate on the field. White shows a bit of hustle, getting the ball into the box, but Cannon catches the low cross before it does any damage.
 
9′
Long Adrian Serioux throw give O'Brien White a header, but Joe Cannon catches comfortably.
 
7′
Barret fights his way into the box, but then wastes the attack by hitting a chip cross way too far for any other TFC player to reach.
 
1′
Kickoff! TFC gets an early chance as Chad Barrett takes a crack at goal - too high.
 
 
3 - TFC is wearing pink jerseys in support of breast cancer. Let's see if it's a lucky color for them.
 
 
Ok, this is it, TFC's playoff hopes are on the line. The Quakes are in the same position. Both team will probably need some help, but this is their chance to help themselves and claim full points.
