AFC Toronto claimed a commanding 3-0 victory over Ottawa Rapid FC on Thursday night at York Lions Stadium, led by a standout performance from Kaylee Hunter. The midfielder scored twice in the first half to set the tone for the home side, with Cloey Uddenberg adding a third just before the 90th to seal the win.

Backed by a lively Toronto crowd celebrating Korea Night, the hosts struck early. Hunter opened the scoring in the 17th minute, finishing off a smooth build-up with a composed right-footed strike from the edge of the area. Just seven minutes later, she doubled the advantage, this time pouncing on a loose ball inside the box and calmly tucking it past the Ottawa goalkeeper for her second of the night.

The quickfire goals gave Toronto early control of the match, as they dictated the pace and forced Ottawa onto the back foot for much of the opening half.

Clinical Finish to a Confident Display
Ottawa came out stronger in the second half, looking to claw back into the match. Despite enjoying 59% possession and finding rhythm in the midfield, they struggled to create clear-cut chances against a well-organized Toronto back line.

As the visitors pushed forward late in the match, Toronto struck once more. In the 90th minute, Uddenberg found space on the counterattack and slotted home a low finish to make it 3-0 and close out the scoring.

The result marks a league-record 4 win streak for AFC Toronto, who now sit comfortably near the top of the table as the regular season enters its final stretch.
