TORONTO (AP) --- Dniel Salli and Niklas Dorsch scored short-handed goals in
the final 12 minutes of regulation to rally Toronto FC to a 3-3 draw with
Charlotte FC on Wednesday night.
Toronto (4-7-9) trailed 3-1 when Salli used assists from Theo Corbeanu and
Markus Cimermancic in the 77th minute to score his fifth goal this season.
Dorsch scored the equalizer in the 90th minute when he found the net for the
second time in his first three appearances in the league --- with assists from
Derrick Etienne Jr. and Jackson Gilman.
Nineteen-year-old rookie forward Rodolfo Aloko put Charlotte ahead 1-0 in the
8th minute when he used an assist from Ashley Westwood to score his first goal
in his 10th appearance and fourth start.
Josh Sargent and defender Richie Laryea set up 21-year-old Markus Cimermancic's
first career goal and Toronto tied it six minutes later. It was the fourth

season.

Charlotte moved back in front 2-1.

for a foul on Toklomati in the 56th minute.

Westwood --- for a two-goal advantage. Westwood already has a career-high eight
assists.
