snapped a three-game winless run in MLS with a
3-1 victory at home to Bastian Schweinsteiger's
Chicago Fire.
Former Juventus forward and 2015 MVP Giovinco
scored in either half to help Toronto get back to
winning ways at BMO Field on Friday.
Toronto welcomed Schweinsteiger and his team-
mates to Canada having not won since March 18,
following back-to-back draws against Sporting
Kansas City and Atlanta United, while they lost at
Columbus Crew last time out.
But with Giovinco at his brilliant best, Toronto
ensured Schweinsteiger and the Fire returned home
to Chicago emptyhanded.
Sit back and enjoy. Vintage

Schweinsteiger had scored two goals in three
matches since arriving from Manchester United to
inspire a three-match unbeaten streak.
However, Toronto set about ending that run early
via Giovinco in the 28th minute after the Italy
international fired a low shot into the bottom left
corner.
Eriq Zavaleta doubled the lead four minutes later
when he rose highest to head home Justin
Morrow's delivery.
Guess who? Giovinco gives @torontofc
the lead. #TORvCHI https://t.co/

The match was put beyond doubt eight minutes
from time thanks to Giovinco, who curled a
stunning free-kick past Jorge Bava.
Substitute David Accam came off the bench and
pulled a goal back in the 88th minute but it was
nothing more than a consolation.
Toronto are sixth in the Eastern Conference, just a
point adrift of Chicago.
