Toronto FC loses ground in loss to D.C. United

Lamar Neagle scored twice to lift D.C. United to a 2-1 win over Toronto FC on Saturday night as Toronto lost ground on the two New York teams in the Eastern Conference standings.

Toronto pressed hard as the game wore on but was unable to break down the D.C. defence.

The New York Red Bulls (14-9-9, 51 points) defeated the Philadelphia Union 3-2 earlier Saturday to regain top spot in the Eastern Conference on goal difference. New York City FC (14-9-9, 51 points) had blanked Houston 2-0 Friday night to knock Toronto into second place.

Jozy Altidore opened the scoring for Toronto (13-9-10, 49 points), which slipped to third place before a crowd of 22,212 at BMO Field.
