Giovinco works his magic and Toronto FC shows ruthless side in blanking NYCFC
TORONTO — On a torrid summer day against one of the top teams in Major League Soccer, Toronto FC showed off its ruthless side.
Sebastian Giovinco scored two spectacular goals and Jozy Altidore and Raheem Edwards struck late as Toronto FC blanked New York City FC 4-0 on Sunday afternoon, increasing its lead atop the league to five points.
In the past, TFC has seized a lead and then missed chances to extend it — at times struggling to hang on to the three points at stake. On Sunday, it went ahead and then piled on.
“I think we could have won by even more today,” said defender Drew Moor, who became the 10th outfield player in MLS history to play 350 regular-season games. “We put them away extremely well but we’re not satisfied.”
