Inter Toronto’s Tomasz Skublak turns goal into business pitch

Tomasz Skublak of Inter Toronto turned a routine goal into one of the most talked-about moments of the CPL weekend, not just for how he scored, but for how he chose to celebrate it.

The 28-year-old striker played a key role in Inter Toronto’s 4-1 win over Atlético Ottawa, but it was his first goal that captured attention beyond the result. Early in the second half, Skublak timed his run perfectly to meet a ball played in behind the defence and finished cleanly past the goalkeeper to break the deadlock. What followed was anything but typical.

Instead of a conventional celebration, Skublak pulled down his sock, took out a business card, held it up to the camera, and mimicked a phone call gesture, a direct and deliberate message. Off the pitch, he works as a real estate agent in Ontario, and in that moment, he used one of football’s biggest stages to promote his business.

It was not a spontaneous act. It was calculated, personal, and reflective of how he manages his career beyond the game.

Speaking after the match, Skublak explained that balancing both roles has become part of his daily routine. Training occupies his mornings, but once club responsibilities are done, his focus shifts immediately to clients, meetings, and managing his real estate work. It’s a schedule that stretches long into the evening, requiring discipline and structure to maintain performance in both fields.

That dual commitment makes his current form even more notable. Just minutes after his opening goal, Skublak found the net again, completing a brace that helped Inter Toronto take control of the match and secure three points against the defending champions. His output this season has been consistent, placing him among the league’s most productive attackers.
