Toronto FC downs New York City FC 2\u002D1 to record second win in a row
This season, Bradley has played five teenagers, all Canadians, as well as a handful of other players 22 years of age or under. Despite that, the results have been impressive.
The Reds doubled the lead via an own goal by New York’s Thiago Martins in the 43th minute. The visiting Blues pulled to within one goal two minutes into added time on a header by Heber. TFC goalkeeper Alex Bono missed out recording his first clean sheet of the season by mere seconds when Heber scored via a header with about a minute before the final whistle was blown.Article content
Rookie Kadin Chung was also out of the lineup with a hamstring injury. Left back Jacob Shaffelburg returned from a hamstring strain. Osorio, who played a ton of minutes with the Canadian national team the past two weeks as the Canucks successfully qualified for the World Cup, was taken out of the game in the 60th minute for Noble Okello and received a nice ovation from the TFC faithful.
The Boys in Blues pressed hard to get back into the game in the second half, but had to settle for only the one in added time.
