Toronto FC ace Sebastian Giovinco might very well have secured a 401 Derby meeting in the Eastern Conference Championship, scoring an early goal against New York City FC, and then scoring a second to give the Reds a 4-0 aggregate lead, and a pair of crucial away goals.
Giovinco crafted the goal with a delicious (but totally not MVP-quality) turn on Maxime Chanot before striking home in the 6th minute of play. He then added a second via the penalty spot in the 19th minute.
As it stands, NYCFC needs five goals to advance and take on the Montreal Impact in the Eastern Conference final.
