Nick DeLeon scored the tiebreaking goal in the 78th minute, Quentin Westberg saved a penalty kick and Toronto F.C. advanced to Major League Soccer’s championship game with a 2-1 victory over Atlanta United, the defending M.L.S. champion, in the Eastern Conference final Wednesday night.
Nicolas Benezet also scored for Toronto, which knocked off the top teams in the East — New York City F.C. and Atlanta United — to earn a shot at the championship Nov. 10 at Seattle.
Its opponent in M.L.S. Cup will be a familiar one: the Seattle Sounders.
