Brennan's elevation to all-star team overshadows TFC loss
Morgan Campbell
Sports Reporter
Pessimists who follow Toronto FC will point out that last night's 1-0 loss to Argentine club Independiente means TFC is winless in more than a month.
The optimists will tell you the match was a meaningless exhibition played by backups, and expect a full-strength TFC squad to host San Jose Saturday night.

TFC edged at home
PETER MALLETT
TORONTO — Argentina first division side Independiente defeated Toronto FC 1-0 on a second-half goal by striker Pablo Vitti in a tightly contested international friendly at BMO Field last night.
The decisive goal came on a 35-yard free kick by forward Ismael Sosa from the left of the Toronto penalty area. Sosa's pass arched into the six-yard box and was volleyed home by Vitti in the 68th minute, giving the visitors from Buenos Aires the only goal of the game.

TORONTO - Of all the players who took the pitch last night at BMO Field, it is 16-year-old Abdus Ibrahim who may have felt the greatest pressure.
Sure the match between Toronto FC and Independiente, a club team from Argentina, was labelled an exhibition, but the game still represented the first start in the rookie forward's career.
