Toronto make it back-to-back wins
Jozy Altidore scored with a superb back-heal flick on Wednesday as Toronto FC defeated the New York Red Bulls 3-1 at the BMO Field.
There seemed little danger in the sixth minute as the ball was played into the penalty area by the hosts, but Altidore produced a moment of magic that belied this reputation as something of a plodder.
Alejandro Pozuelo added a penalty in the 26th minute and after the visitors pulled one back, following a mix up at the back, allowed Ashtone Morgan to complete the scoring.
Toronto moves ahead of New York City FC in the standings in the Eastern Conference and into sixth place. Toronto has played three more games than New York City and that has generated one extra victory, the tiebreaker that the MLS uses first with both teams on 29 points.
Toronto are 25/1 to win the MLS Cup this season with New York City FC 10/1.
Meanwhile down at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, the hosts took advantage of the sixth minute dismissal of Alberth Elis of the Houston Dynamo to crush the visitors 5-0.
Josef Martínez scored twice and Darlington Nagbe, Brandon Vazquez and Julian Gressel also were on target as the defending MLS champions surged into second place in the Eastern Conference.
Atlanta trails the Philadelphia Union by three points, but with a game in hand and is one point ahead of DC United who slips to third. DC United is back in action on Thursday when they travel to The Queen City to take on FC Cincinnati.
The hosts are bottom of the Conference, but have won their last two games, beating the Houston Dynamo at home and upsetting the Fire in Chicago last time out.
Cincinnati are 29/20 for the win with DC United 7/4 and the draw 12/5.
