Sebastian Giovinco hits the road in search of goals this week.
The reigning MLS MVP hasn’t scored in seven league games although he remains a vital playmaker — and human highlight reel — for Toronto FC, which plays in Columbus on Wednesday and San Jose on Saturday.
Last season, Giovinco scored (22) or assisted (16) on 38 of Toronto’s 58 goals, meaning he was directly involved in 65.5 per cent of the team’s scoring. He had 11 goals and eight assists last season at this point.
This year he has eight goals and seven assists, contributing to 79 per cent of the team’s 19 goals.
