BRIDGEVIEW, ILL.—Toronto FC is pulling away from the contenders in Major League Soccer’s Eastern Conference.

Nicolas Hasler scored his first goal of the season off a header to give Toronto FC the lead for good in a 3-1 victory over Chicago on Saturday night that ended the Fire’s 11-game home unbeaten streak.

The Reds, who are undefeated in seven games, are also the first team in MLS this season to reach 50 points. They have a seven-point lead over New York City FC, which has a game in hand, and are now nine points ahead of the Fire, who have just one win in their last seven games.
