New York Red Bulls snap Toronto FC six-game win streak in draw
HARRISON, N.J. -- Benoit Cheyrou scored on a diving header in the
70th minute to help Toronto FC salvage a 1-1 tie with the New York Red
Bulls on Friday night, ending the Canadian team's franchise-record
winning streak at six games.
Toronto FC had three good scoring
chances in the final 10 minutes for the first seven-game winning streak
in the MLS since the 2012 season.
Jozy Altidore's penalty kick was
blocked by Luis Robles in the 81st minute. On the previous play,
Altidore tried to chip the keeper but it went wide and Tosaint Ricketts
was knocked down in the penalty area chasing the loose ball.
In
the 84th minute, Ricketts controlled a long pass with his chest on a
breakaway but his shot hit the crossbar. Then Ricketts appeared to score
in the 89th but it was whistled back for an offside call.
New
York snapped a three-game losing streak. In the 38th minute, Sacha
Kljestan's free kick was headed across goal by Fredrik Gulbrandsen and
Wright-Phillips finished it with a bicycle kick to open the scoring.
