Hannes Wolf had a goal and an assist, Tom\u00e1s Romero picked up his second victory in three starts and New York City FC beat Toronto FC 3-1 on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
New York City (9-7-4) moved into sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 31 points.<\/p>\n
Wolf opened the scoring in the 20th minute with his team-leading ninth goal of the season. His side-volley shot went off the far post and redirected off the other post into the net for a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n
It was just the seventh first-half goal this season for NYCFC, which entered lowest in the league in that category.<\/p>\n
Mitja Ilenic made it 2-0 in the 49th with his second goal of the season. Agust\u00edn Ojeda dribbled into the area for a cross that deflected off Ilenic inside the far post.<\/p>\n
Toronto (4-11-5) cut its deficit to 2-1 in the 70th on an own goal. Theo Corbeanu got past his defender along the right sideline and got to the endline for a cross that went off defender Justin Haak and Romero’s arm into the net.<\/p>\n
But four minutes later, Kevin O’Toole scored his first goal since March 9, 2024 off a great pass by Wolf.<\/p>\n
Toronto, which entered with just 25 goals allowed this season, was looking for its first road victory against New York City since September 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NYCFC graphic 00:12 Hannes Wolf had a goal and an assist, Tom\u00e1s Romero picked up his second victory…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":36868,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,6071,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-36867","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-major-league-soccer","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-city","12":"tag-newyork","13":"tag-newyorkcity","14":"tag-ny","15":"tag-nyc","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-united-states-of-america","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","20":"tag-us","21":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114792530267862933","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36867\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
