Toronto FCvsD.C. United
TOR 1/DC 2
Things to say
D.C. United beat Toronto FC 2-1 at Audi Field.
01
opener
D.C. finally got one at home. Edged Toronto 2-1. Not pretty, but they'll take it.
02
key player
Sean Johnson kept them in it. Six saves in goal, held the line late. Been their best signing this year, honestly.
03
hot take
Toronto had the ball all night and still lost. Fifty passes from Gilman and nothing to show for it. Style over end product, same as always.
04
deep cut
Watch Kurokawa on that back line. Thirteen defensive interventions. Nobody talks about him but he's doing the dirty work.
05
exit
Anyway, long season left. Let's see if D.C. can string a couple together next week.
The recap
D.C. United took care of business at Audi Field, edging Toronto FC 2-1 to bag three points they badly needed.
Sean Johnson stood tall in goal with six saves to keep the visitors at bay, and the back line leaned on Keisuke Kurokawa's 13 defensive interventions to weather the late pressure. Toronto's Djordje Mihailovic kept firing away with four shots but couldn't find the net when it mattered.
A gritty home win that nudges D.C. up the table and leaves Toronto still searching for answers.
