Tajon Buchanan can put his miss against the Montreal Impact behind him now that he has his first professional goal.
The second-year player is often asked to use his pace and skill to make a difference off the bench. Such was the case on Feb. 29 when he entered in the 82nd minute with his team down 2-1 against the Impact.
Three minutes later, Buchanan almost found the equalizer when he headed Brandon Bye’s cross towards goal. The cross-range effort banged off the post instead of settling into the back of the net.
It was a moment that stung.
