Atlanta United 2-2 Toronto FC: Beer-fuelled Sebastian Giovinco secures MLS points record

Toronto FC set a new MLS record for regular-season points by claiming a 2-2 draw at Atlanta United on Decision Day.

Sebastian Giovinco’s stunning free-kick saw the Reds come from behind twice to collect a well-earned point at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Toronto’s 69 points in 2017 tops the 1998 LA Galaxy, who the Reds had already tied by reaching 68.

Greg Vanney made the surprising decision to switch to a 4-4-2 diamond on Decision Day, with Jonathan Osorio coming into the team for Eriq Zavaleta and Steven Beitashour replacing Nicolas Hasler.
