Vazquez give Toronto 2-2 tie with New York City
NEW YORK — Victor Vazquez drilled a penalty kick past Sean Johnson in the first minute of stoppage time and Toronto FC escaped with a 2-2 draw against New York City FC on Wednesday night.
Jordan Hamilton was clipped and taken down by New York City’s RJ Allen in the penalty area in the 90th minute, setting up Vazquez’s penalty kick for his fourth goal of the season.
“I knew the goalkeeper was going to go to his left side. I think it was a good penalty,” said Vasquez.
Toronto (11-3-6) moved a point ahead of Chicago for the Eastern Conference and overall MLS lead.
