HARRISON, N.J.—Faced with a New York pushback in the second half, Toronto FC served a timely reminder at Red Bull Arena that it can defend as well as it can attack. The Red Bulls need to win and score at least two goals to survive, or at least match Monday’s score to force overtime. Dominant in the first half, Toronto held firm on defence and posed problems with its rapid-fire counterattack. While Toronto led the league with 74 goals (2.18 per game), it ranked second in defence with 37 goals allowed (1.09 goals per game). With 19 returnees from the MLS Cup final loss last year, Toronto is a motivated bunch.
