Toronto FC 3 – 1 Columbus Crew SC
Hartford, CT – One more time, “El Matador”, Alejandro Pozuelo, masacró the Columbus Crew SC at Rentschler Field.
The score should actually say 4-0, but unfortunately, Chris Mavinga, at minute 40 mistook his arc for the Columbus arc, which makes it an unfortunate start to the game.
In the second half, the pressure was against Greg Vanney’s side, who one more time shows us how he transmits the knowledge beyond the field and always works with great results.
The Man of New Jersey, Jozy Altidore, right away after came out at half time, scoring with the help of Alex Pozuelo and other protagonists like Richie Laryea.
In the 59th minute, Pozulelo made it 2-1 and then Richie Laryea made the 3-1 assisted by Marky Delgado turning the situation clearly in their favor.
Even though the Canadian team are passing through a homeless situation, the happiness is indading the whole group. The Vanney Boys were against the wall in the first half and just like we said, it is the hard work of Vanney that gets the result as this one
The next match for Toronto FC is against Philadelphia Union, which both teams will be fighting for second spot in the Eastern Conference table.
