Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Damar Dixon scored in the 90th minute as Toronto FC II edged Chattanooga FC 7-6 in an extraordinary MLS Next Pro encounter, the midfielder's late strike capping a remarkable comeback that sealed victory for the hosts. The match was a chaotic spectacle from the outset, with the scoreline belying the underlying flow of the contest as Toronto snatched all three points deep into stoppage time.

Chattanooga struck first through Alex Krehl, assisted by Daniel Mangarov, in the 23rd minute after Jahmarie Nolan had opened the scoring for Toronto in the 11th, and the visitors looked set for a routine win when Farid Sar-Sar converted Luke Husakiwsky's assist in the 82nd minute. But Dixon's dramatic equaliser, set up by Luca Costabile, turned the game on its head and led to a frantic finale that ultimately favoured the home side.

The numbers tell a starkly different story, with Chattanooga dominating possession at 53%, firing 17 shots to Toronto's nine, and racking up an xG of 1.71 against a measly 0.49, while also winning the corner count 6-2. Chattanooga were the better side across both halves, yet Toronto's efficiency in front of goal proved decisive. Damar Dixon was the standout with an 8/10 rating for his midfield display, his crucial goal underlining his influence. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Chattanooga, and the result did not confirm that prediction, with the visitors outplaying their hosts but losing on the night.
