Kahlina has six shutouts this season for Charlotte (12-11-2), which is unbeaten in five straight.
Brandt Bronico chipped an entry from the right corner of the box to the back post and a wide-open Toklomati headed home the finish to open the scoring in the 60th minute.
Vargas made it 2-0 in the 65th. Wilfried Zaha dispossessed Toronto in its defensive half and immediately played a ball-ahead that led a streaking Vargas for a low finish from the right-centre of the area that deflected of goalkeeper Sean Johnson into the top corner of the net.
The 20-year-old Toklomati has all of his six career goals this season, his second in MLS. The Israeli forward scored a goal in back-to-back games and has five goals in his last seven contests.
Sean Johnson stopped two shots for Toronto (5-13-6).
Charlotte's Souleyman Doumbia (hamstring) did not play.
Charlotte beat Toronto 2-0 May 31 on the road.

Social media reacts to Nets signing Ricky Council IV to one-year deal
The Brooklyn Nets have had one of the more interesting offseasons with the way that they approached the 2025 NBA Draft and free-agency as a whole. Brooklyn not only used five first-round picks in the Draft, but they also traded forward Cam Johnson to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for forward Michael Porter Jr. and a 2032 first-round pick. On Friday, the Nets continued making tweaks to the roster by signing former Philadelphia 76ers forward Ricky Council IV to a one-year contract, per ESPN's Shams Charania. Council, 23, is coming off a 2024-25 season with the 76ers in which he averaged 7.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game while shooting 38.2% from the field and 25.8% from three-point land. With Council being added to the roster, most likely to compete for a spot in training camp, the Nets will be at 19 players on the team, including forward Ziaire Williams and center Day'Ron Sharpe, whose re-signings are still pending, per Spotrac. As of this writing, Brooklyn has not re-signed guard Cam Thomas, meaning that the roster could be at 20 players soon enough. Either way, here is how social media reacted to the Nets signing Council on Friday: What Ricky Council IV Brings To The Nets Ricky Council IV Highlights Day'Ron Sharpe Welcomes Ricky Council IV To The Team Ricky Council IV Highlights Ricky Council IV Reaction Ricky Council IV Reaction Ricky Council IV Reaction Ricky Council IV Reaction Ricky Council IV Reaction Ricky Council IV Reaction This article originally appeared on Nets Wire: Social media reacts to Nets signing Ricky Council IV to one-year deal
