Toronto FC dressed only 16 players on April 21 as Houston Dynamo romped to a 5-1 victory. Toronto sent their other players away for CONCACAF competition. The Dynamo seized Toronto’s weakness to finish their problems checklist.
Those problems included placing shots, passing and possession, not to mention defense.
Throughout the game, the players excelled. It looked like they’d never had any problems with the first three areas. They did suffer just a few lapses on defense. The first lapse got them a scolding from captain DaMarcus Beasley.
On the second lapse, they got rescued by a video review proving Toronto FC offside.
