Toronto, ON – Tremendous season in the making for the Man Of New Jersey, Jozy Altidore, the forward of the United States National Team is once again the difference in the match.
Nick DeLeon put the Reds in the lead at minute 16′ assisted by Omar Gonzalez in a pretty strategic play in a long time, lots of pass and dominion of the ball.
On the 50′, one more time appears DeLeon playing well and advancing enough to leave Altidore with possession of the sphere who makes an amazing goal.
The man of New Jersey has scored in his last four matches and he keep beating his own record.
With a Cincinnati trying to resolve the difference, Emmanuel Ledesma discounts by reacting and pushing to try to equalize the action which he accomplished at minute 58′.
At the end, The Vanney Boys add 3 more points towards the playoffs and getting ready with all the creative opportunities acquired in the training time.
