    Sebastian Giovinco grabbed a goal and an assist for Toronto FC in a 3-0 win against Philadelphia Union in MLS on Friday.

    Victor Vazquez got Toronto on the scoreboard in the 29th minute and Giovinco made it 2-0 in the second half with his first goal of the season.

    Jay Chapman capped the scoring in the 90th minute as Toronto earned their first league victory in five weeks.

    Toronto started the night last in the 11-team Eastern Conference and were missing several regulars, including forward Jozy Altidore.

    Giovinco tested Andre Blake in the early going with a shot from distance that forced the Philadelphia goalkeeper to fully extend for the save.

    Toronto goalkeeper Alex Bono showed his form moments later. He displayed quick reflexes to tip a header by Union captain Alejandro Bedoya onto the bar.

    Giovinco helped set up the opening goal by finding Nicolas Hasler charging down the right side. Hasler fed the ball into the middle where it was deftly stroked into the corner by Vazquez.

    Toronto used a strong counter-attack to pad their lead in the second half as Jonathan Osorio found space in the midfield before passing to Giovinco, who finished from inside the box.

    Chapman later delivered a quality strike for his first goal of the season to put the game out of reach.

    Toronto's last MLS win was 3-1 over Real Salt Lake on March 30. The Reds fielded reserve-heavy line-ups last month during their run to the CONCACAF Champions League final.
