Toronto FC Lose To Red Bulls

HARRISON, NJ – Two teams battling for an edge in the race for a postseason spot played the sort of chippy match one might expect from sides seeking points. However, it was the New York Red Bulls who tightened their grip on second place in the Eastern Conference with a 1-0 defeat of Toronto FC at Red Bull Arena on Wednesday.

Estonian midfielder Joel Lindpere tallied the only goal of the match in the first half, and a solid outing from the Red Bulls defense ensured the hosts would earn all three points.

Toronto pressed for a strong start in the opening 10 minutes of the match, holding the edge in possession and even creating several scoring opportunities as the Red Bulls seemed unsettled by the high pressure from the visitors.

New York then calmed possession and evened the flow of the game to dominate long stretches of the first half.
