Toronto FC were led astray by the New York Red Bulls, and it nearly cost them

Where do you start with a game like that?

In the tunnel, I suppose. It’s unlikely we’ll ever know for sure what happened between Jozy Altidore and Sacha Kljestan, or whatever else it was that sparked a mass brawl and resulted in both players being sent off.

Toronto FC’s account is that a number of New York Red Bulls players and staff members “ambushed” Altidore. Altidore says he had his back turned when Kljestan grabbed him.

Michael Bradley, who was one of the last players off the pitch, pointed out that he discovered the melee deep into the tunnel, near the TFC locker room.
