Toronto FC flew out of Vancouver the same night it lost the Canadian Championship final to the Whitecaps this week.
Goalkeeper Alex Bono didn’t sleep a wink on the red-eye charter.
“No. It was a long way,” he said. “It was weird. You’re kind of up in the clouds and at a certain point you see the horizon. And the sun starts to come up. And you’re like … ‘It’s morning.’”
Proof positive that the sun does rise — even after a painful 5-3 penalty shootout defeat.
In his eighth season with TFC, the 28-year-old Bono has grown up in Toronto colours.
