Pozuelo header gives Toronto 2-1 win in huge Eastern Conference battle

Philadelphia Union’s unbeaten streak came to an end in Hartford, CT Saturday night as they fell 2-1 to Toronto FC.

Jim Curtin didn’t have Ray Gaddis or Kai Wagner available, but the Union defense has depth and Olivier Mbaizo remained on the right with Matt Real slotting in at left back. Ale Bedoya returned to the first eleven in place of Anthony Fontana to round out the changes.

Jozy Altidore led the line for Toronto FC, but it was another big striker that opened up the game less than five minutes from the first whistle.

Running onto a wonderful touch from Bedoya, Santos pinged the ball off defender Omar Gonzalez, retrieved it, and dinked his finish over a surprised Quentin Westberg.
