New York City FC's difficult start to the MLS season continues in 2-1 loss at Toronto

Jesus Jimenez scored and New York City FC conceded an own goal as Toronto FC downed the defending MLS champions 2-1.

New York had more of the ball but failed to take advantage until Brazilian substitute Heber scored on a stylish header in the 92nd minute. For Toronto , it was its second win in a row.

Toronto grew into the game and went ahead in the 31st minute when Jonathan Osorio's through ball split the visitors' defence en route to an unmarked Jimenez, who beat Sean Johnson to the corner for his third goal of the season. TFC bent but didn't break in the second half as the visitors pressed. Alex Bono made an acrobatic save off Keaton Parks in the 68th minute to maintain the Toronto advantage.

Toronto dodged a bullet when referee Drew Fischer reversed his eighth-minute penalty decision after Talles Magno went down in the penalty box. Fischer initially thought wingback Kosi Thompson, making his first TFC start, had clipped the Brazilian's leg but video review showed Magno had got his own feet tangled.

NYCFC striker Valentin Castellanos shot just wide in the 18th minute after a rush that TFC thought should have been flagged offside.
