His first open play goal came when the Union needed it most.
At 1-1, Toronto FC was looking to notch a come-from-behind win, and Alejandro Pozuelo was growing into the game. Philly needed a special moment from a special player, and Jamiro Monteiro delivered.
Connecting with Kacper Przybylko through the center, Monteiro spotted an opening and took it, streaking past TFC’s defenders before slotting home a stunning feed from the Union’s big striker. The celebration was a show of pride and relief, and Monteiro helped close out the match with his typical blend of energy and toughness.
