Drew Moor scored in the opening minutes to give
the Reds an early advantage. Toronto FC goalkeeper Alex Bono
made sure the lead didn't slip away, denying each of the
Revolution's three shots on goal.
Toronto FC (10-2-5) wanted to avenge one of its only losses
after falling 3-0 to New England (5-7-5) on June 3 at Gillette
Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. The Reds wasted little time before
launching their attack.
Toronto FC's Justin Morrow and Tsubasa Endoh got shots off in
the opening minutes, but both were off target. Moor got an
opportunity off a corner kick by Endoh and he didn't miss,
beating New England goalkeeper Cody Cropper to put Toronto FC up
1-0 in the 11th minute.
The Revolution had a number of chances in the ensuing moments,
but Kelyn Rowe's shot missed to the left, Gershon Koffie's blast
from outside the box was too high and Lee Nguyen's attempt from
the center of the box was saved by Bono.
New England had several opportunities to tie the score early in
the second half, but the Revolution couldn't capitalize. Juan
Agudelo's shot was blocked and Kei Kamara's shot strayed to the
left. Agudelo had another chance from a difficult angle just
moments later and directed the ball beautifully to the bottom
right corner, but Bono came up with the save to preserve the
lead for Toronto FC.
The Reds added to their lead when Sebastian Giovinco scored in
stoppage time.
New England outshot Toronto FC 12-9, but the Reds had a 4-3
advantage in shots on goal. Bono had three saves. Cropper
finished with two.
The Revolution remained winless on the road this season.
