Toronto, ON – Toronto FC finish the regular season wining over Columbus Crew at BMO Field.
The Vanney Boys are in, and the group is passing through a great moment.
With a penalty at 58′, Alejandro Pozuelo gives the victory and that means 50 points to close the season at home.
On this Decision Day, Columbus Crew were a difficult opponent for the Canadian Team. Caleb Porter showed to be alert of all the Vanney strategies in the 90 minutes but that goal from Pozuelo was definitive.
On a match where it looks to be the last season for the Captain, Michael Bradley on the BMO Field with the Red T-Shirt. Unfortunately The Man of New Jersey, Jozy Altidore left the field with an injury which puts uncertainty all around on the TFC athmosphere.

Until now, we do not yet know the level of damage on Jozy, and we hope he’ll be able to bring the Reds one more time on the final steps of the playoffs.
