Deandre Kerr scores four goals as Toronto FC sets cup scoring record in lopsided win

Toronto FC forward Cassius Mailula and CS Saint-Laurent goalkeeper Jae Kyum Jeon battle for the ball during the first half at BMO Field. Toronto won 8-1 on May 21, 2024.Deandre Kerr had four goals as eight-time champion Toronto FC scored early and often in thumping semi-pro CS Saint-Laurent 8-1 Tuesday for a 11-1 aggregate win and a berth in the Canadian Championship semifinals.

Things went from bad to worse in the 45th minute when Saint-Laurent’s veteran Tunisian defender Oussama Boughanmi was shown a straight red card when he caught Alonso Coello with a boot to the face. It was unintentional but reckless. Toronto’s second-half goals came on a deflected shot by Mailula in the 50th minute, from the penalty spot by Etienne in the 56th, an own goal by Nathan Goulet in the 62nd, Kerr’s fourth in the 72nd and Owusu in the 80th.Saint Laurent had also won kudos for its play in the 3-0 first-leg loss, holding Toronto scoreless for 50 minutes on May 8 at the Complexe sportif Claude-Robillard.

On Wednesday, Atletico Ottawa visits Pacific FC after a scoreless first leg and CF Montreal hosts CPL champion Forge FC with the aggregate score tied at 1-1. The cup date was TFC’s ninth game in 31 days, with league outings against Cincinnati and Philadelphia still to come in what Herdman calls “May madness.”Loic Kwemi, a Canadian futsal international, tested Gavran in the 10th minute with a hard shot from distance that the Toronto ‘keeper was able to parry.

Saint-Laurent kept coming, however, and Kwemi hit the goalpost in the 21st minute after a turnover by 17-year-old midfielder Andrei Dumitru.
