TORONTO — Newly acquired Rafael Marquez scored his first goal for the Red Bulls, and New York won 4-1 on Saturday to hand Toronto FC its first home loss this season.
Juan Pablo Angel connected on a penalty shot, former Toronto FC midfielder Carl Robinson scored for the visitors, and Toronto coughed up an own goal by Joseph Nane in a loss that dealt a blow to a team looking for its first Major League Soccer playoff berth.
Toronto entered the game at BMO Field third in the Eastern Conference standings behind second- place New York and hoping to make up some ground on the visitors before a stadium record crowd of 22,108 fans.
“We’re not out of it yet, but obviously we created more of a gap with New York right now, eight points away from us,” Toronto captain Dwayne De Rosario said. “But it’s not something to be too worried about right now, but a little concerned, yes.”
