Ugly goal by New York City FC looked bad on Toronto FC

Toronto FC’s up-and-down MLS season hit a low in last week’s 2-1 loss at New York City FC.

The 68th-minute winning goal by Norwegian striker Jo Inge Berget was an ugly snapshot of what has gone wrong this season. After an eight-pass buildup, Toronto midfielder Marky Delgado’s attempt to get the ball to Victor Vazquez instead went to a NYCFC defender at the edge of the penalty box. Four passes later, New York had scored at the other end.
