In a USA Major League Soccer encounter, Aime Mabika showcased an outstanding performance for Toronto FC, helping his team secure a 2-1 victory over Wayne Rooney's D.C. United. The Zambian defender played a crucial role at the back, preventing D.C. United from finding the net for the majority of the match. However, D.C. United managed to score a consolation goal in the 87th minute through experienced striker Christian Benteke, who has a notable history playing in the English Premier League. Toronto F.C F.C. had an early lead when Deandre Kerr converted a pass from former Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne. They later extended their advantage in the 72nd minute, courtesy of another assist from Insigne, leading to a goal scored by Kosi Thompson. Throughout the match, Mabika and his defensive teammates remained resolute, denying D.C. United had any breakthroughs until Benteke's late consolation goal. Looking ahead, there is a possibility that Mabika could be considered for the Zambian national team next month. However, there are ongoing issues with his passport that need to be resolved by the Zambian authorities.
