It was much closer than it should have been, but Toronto FC got a much needed 1-0 victory over the Chicago Fire today at BMO Field. It was only their second MLS win in the last eight matches.
Justin Morrow scored the lone goal of the match just nine minutes in, and Toronto FC held on from there to earn the clean sheet. Alex Bono had his first professional clean sheet in the victory.
From the opening whistle, Toronto FC looked to put pressure on the Chicago Fire. It paid off in the ninth minutes, when Sebastian Giovinco played a ball in behind the Chicago backline.
