Akinola nets hat trick to push TFC past Impact and into Group C lead. MORE:
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Toronto FC is looking dangerous at the MLS is Back Tournament, even with its US$6-million striker watching from the stands.
The top two teams in each of the six groups plus the four best third-place finishers advance to the round of 16. "It was the first 90 for a lot of the guys so we were a little bit tired, the legs were a little bit heavy," said Toronto coach Greg Vanney."But it was gutsy and a lot of heart to get the result tonight."
Bradley said after the New England game that centre backs are going to find out quickly that facing Akinola is a tough night at the office. The Impact defenders now know it. His third came in the 83rd minute, bundling aside a defender after taking a Nick DeLeon flick-on from a Quentin Westberg goal kick before chipping Diop.
