Meanwhile, Gianluca Zavarise scored the lone goal for Toronto FC in a 3-1 loss to Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday.
It was Toronto's first defeat of the Major League Soccer pre-season. Toronto trailed 2-0 at halftime after the Croatian side scored in the first and eighth minutes.
Zavarise, a Canadian midfielder on trial with Toronto, made an immediate impact as a second-half substitute. He scored just a minute after the break when Jacob Peterson raced down the wing and sent a low cross into the box. Zavarise held the ball up, turned and fired to score.
Toronto pressured Zagreb for the tying goal, but Zagreb scored on a penalty kick in the 81st minute, awarded after a foul by Matt Stinson.
Toronto was missing captain Dwayne De Rosario and Adrian Cann. They played in Canada's 1-0 loss to Greece the previous day and arrived back in camp just an hour before kickoff.
