Toronto has been scoring like crazy lately. Would do NYRB good to control the pace and not let the game get too wide open.

Fantastic opening. Lovely composure by Solli there to get that ball into the net. Lovely. Just lovely.

Unmarked man on the corner. No one to contest him. Terrible. Just terrible.

That was scary. No foul there? We’re lucky. Conde grabbed him.

This has the feeling of the game that the Red Bulls can lose if they don’t get their act together shortly. The glare for Meara and the defenders is worrying me.
