The Union lost to Toronto FC, 3-0, on Friday at BMO Field in Toronto, and it was a well-deserved rout.
Toronto, the reigning MLS champion, finally looked the part after a slow start to the season. The Reds (2-4-1, 7 points) outshot the Union (2-4-2, 8 points) by a 16-5 margin, and more of Toronto’s shots were off target than on frame.
The opening goal came in the 28th minute. Toronto star Sebastian Giovinco started the play by feeding a wide open Nico Hasler on the right wing. Hasler played a low cross that split three Union players on the way to Victor Vázquez, and the Spaniard hit a first-time shot to Andre Blake’s far post.
