New York City FC 2, Toronto FC 2: Late penalty squelches Blues’ fightback

Related Topics: New York City FC, Toronto

For the fifth time in their last six games, New York City FC conceded the opening goal. As they tend to do rather often, they fought back to take the lead. But a penalty conversion by Toronto’s Victor Vazquez in injury time ended things all square Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium, 2-2.

Ashtone Morgan’s volley to open the scoring for the heavily-rotated visitors, who nearly made it to the halftime break with the advantage despite the thrust of the run of play, which favored the close-but-not-quite Blues. Toronto would suffer a massive setback in the 39th miniute, however, as star man Sebastian Giovinco picked up an injury and couldn’t continue.
