Well, just as we thought Toronto FC were about to steal a point with 10 men against New York City FC, the match was stolen out from under them. It wasn’t actually a terrible performance with a man down, all things considered, but the self-inflicted wounds were too deep.
The Reds remain seven points back of a playoff spot with 11 games remaining. Before they can worry about that, though, they have Wednesday night against the Vancouver Whitecaps — the Canadian Championship final. Then, it’s off to California on the weekend for a date with the San Jose Earthquakes.
