Toronto FC looks to extend record win streak in hostile Red Bull Arena
Toronto FC looks to extend its franchise-record win streak to seven in suburban New York on Friday night while the Red Bulls try to stem an uncharacteristic three-game slide.
Since losing April 15 in Columbus, Toronto (7-1-4) has climbed to the top of the MLS standings with wins over Chicago, Houston, Orlando, Seattle, Columbus and Minnesota. It has outscored the opposition 13-2 en route.
The Red Bulls (5-6-1, sixth in the East) have gone the other way, outscored 8-1 in losses to Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Sporting Kansas City.
Last Sunday’s 3-1 loss to the Galaxy snapped New York’s 19-game win streak at Red Bull Arena, a run that matched the sixth-longest in league history. Still, the Red Bulls are 4-1-1 this season at their Harrison, N.J., home.
