Minutes after Toronto FC beat New York City FC 2-0 at BMO Field on Sunday night, the home team crowded around a pair of drums at the south end of the stadium, ready for its now routine celebration with fans.
But the squad and its supporters held off, waiting for striker Jozy Altidore, the night’s winning goal scorer, to finish an interview at midfield.
The camera was hardly off, the microphone hardly put down when thousands of fans began chanting the forward’s name. The serenade continued as Altidore jogged over to take his place at the drum.
