Jonathan Osorio scored two of Toronto FC’s four goals in the first half of extra time, as the hosts recorded a 5-1 victory over D.C. United in an Eastern Conference opening-round playoff match Saturday. Richie Laryea and former D.C. United defender/midfielder Nick DeLeon also tallied in extra time to help fourth-seeded Toronto FC rebound after Lucas Rodriguez forged a tie off a set piece in second-half stoppage time. Marco Delgado scored in the 32nd minute, and Quentin Westberg made five saves for Toronto FC, who will carry an 11-match unbeaten streak (5-0-6) into their conference semifinal contest at New York City FC on Wednesday. Toronto FC played without star striker Jozy Altidore and defender Omar Gonzalez. The loss for fifth-seeded D.C. United spelled the end of the MLS career of Wayne Rooney.
