Toronto, ON – TFC earns 3 glorious points at Home against Red Bulls of NY!
Very early on, The Man of New Jersey was in a rush to penetrate the net only at 6′ minutes from the beginning, completed with another GOLAZO from Altidore.
It is the same Jozy, who was converted in a symbolic captain, organizing the middle area on his way to get any ball filtered.
At 26′, the Spanish, Alejandro Pozuelo makes the 2nd of the night with a penalty until Tom Barlow scores for the team of the Big Apple.
The head coach, Greg Vanney was very exited looking forward for ways tho secure the match and the entrance of Jonathan Osorio gave the Reds more confidence on the field of BMO.
At 72′, Ashton Morgan sentenced the Canadians the win with the 3 points and the fans saw once again the machine that TFC is, the soul of Canada.
Between the three franchises in MLS from Canada, Montreal Impact is getting better, Vancouver Whitecaps are in a bad spot with 13 goals against them in the last three matches and the Vanney Boys seem to be in the process of a very good transformation, getting the 11th player Vanney was looking for.
