TORONTO—Rookie O’Brian White and defender Nana Attakora scored three minutes apart in the second half to help Toronto FC snap a three-game winless streak Saturday with a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rapids.
Dwayne De Rosario’s goal in the 19th minute ended a 313-minute scoreless drought for Toronto FC (9-9-7), which had gone 0-2-1 without scoring since a 2-0 win over D.C. United on Aug. 15.
Four minutes after the half, Conor Casey tied it for Colorado with his league-leading 13th goal of the season.
But White replaced Ali Gerba in the 65th minute and took just six minutes to score for Toronto, flicking a through ball from De Rosario over charging goalkeeper Preston Burpo and into the back of the net.
Attakora padded the lead to 3-1 in the 74th minute with a powerful header just under the bar on a corner from Amado Guevara.
It was the first MLS goal for Attakora, helping Toronto improve to 7-3-3 at home.
Michael Holody scored his first of the season in the 89th minute but it wasn’t enough for Colorado, which fell to 0-4-1 on the road since winning at New York on May 30.
