    Taylor drew a foul at the right side of the box after a great show of skill to beat two players marking him. The resulting free kick leads to a corner which leads to nothing

    He was taken out in the 60th minute. Gerso replaced him. Tony had a couple nice runs, drawing a corner and free kick, but obviously he didn't stand out. Estoril's coach (Marco Silva) wasn't impressed by either team according to his post game interview.

    On another note. Estoril has a center back who was born in Toronto. I've watched him for a couple seasons and the dude's a beast. He's 6'4, so he's naturally physically dominant, especially in a place like Portugal. But he's also become really good reading the game and distributing the ball, not to mention the fact that he scores fairly regularly for a defender. He played a couple times for Portugal's youth teams, but never the senior team. Canada needs to put some pressure on this guy. I'd take him on the US for sure.
