The win puts the ‘Caps within three points of Real Salt Lake for the sixth and final playoff position. RSL and seventh-place LAFC each play matches later on Saturday evening, but the ‘Caps will have a game in hand on both clubs after the weekend.
TFC, who played the last third of the match down one man after defender Gregory van der Wiel was sent off with his second yellow card, sees its title defence come to an end with the loss.
