Toronto FC players Richie Laryea and Lorenzo Insigne have been named to the Week 25 MLS Team of the Week after the Reds’ 3-1 victory over the Portland Timbers at BMO Field on Saturday.

The nod marks Laryea’s first TOTW inclusion since his return to TFC (on loan from Nottingham Forest), while Insigne makes the bench for the second consecutive week.

Laryea picked up assists on goals by fellow Canadian international Jonathan Osorio and Italian star Federico Bernardeschi.

Sandwiched between those two goals was perhaps the moment of the night courtesy of Insigne. Il Magnifico made his mark in front latching onto a lovely chip from captain Michael Bradley. The 31-year-old did well to take the ball down before hitting home the match winner to the delight of the-sold out crowd.
