There was a lot of “Finally” in this game.
Finally, Toronto FC returned to victory after coming to this Chicago Fire tie on the back of six winless games in MLS.
Finally, Chris Mavinga and Gregory van der Wiel’s experience returned to the defensive line.
Finally, Jozy Altidore was deployed into the starting XI to form TFC’s trademark tandem with Sebastian Giovinco.
The 2-1 victory on the road puts TFC, who have 19 points, nine points behind sixth-placed New England Revolution (28), with a game in hand in the Eastern Conference.
