Josef Martinez continued his prolific form in a resounding win for Atlanta United, while Jozy Altidore scored a stunning goal for Toronto in MLS action on Wednesday.
Martinez netted a brace as defending champions Atlanta crushed the 10-man Houston Dynamo 5-0 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
After Alberth Elis was sent off in just the sixth minute for making contact with the referee, Darlington Nagbe got the scoring started for the hosts before Brandon Vazquez's close-range header made it 2-0.
Martinez's header from a Julian Gressel cross extended Atlanta's lead on the hour-mark before the Venezuelan finished brilliantly again 19 minutes later.
