LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLA.—The New England Revolution, whose defence has been breached just once in two games at the MLS is Back tournament, expects a stiff test Tuesday from the Toronto FC attack.
Only Los Angeles FC, with nine goals, had scored more than Toronto’s six prior to Monday night’s Orlando-Philadelphia game at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports complex.
Toronto striker Ayo Akinola, filling in for Jozy Altidore while the U.S international regains full fitness, has five goals in two games. Spanish playmaker Alejandro Pozuelo has five assists, all on Akinola’s goals.
“They have the leading goal scorer (Akinola) in the tournament, probably the leading goal scorer in the league right now,” New England coach Bruce Arena said in his team’s pre-game availability.
