TORONTO (AP) - Terry Dunfield scored in stoppage time to give Toronto FC a 3-2 win over Vancouver on Wednesday night after a goalkeeping gaffe by Toronto seemed to give the Whitecaps a gift tie.

At the end of 90 minuts, Milos Kocic tried to punch away a high cross with one hand and missed it, leaving Darren Mattocks a clear header that sent the ball looping into the goal.

But Dunfield, a former Whitecaps player, rose and headed in the winning goal off a corner with just seconds left.

Until then, it seemed like goals by Torsten Frings and rookie Luis Silva three minutes apart in the second half would give Toronto FC a 2-1 win.
