Altidore leads Toronto FC to 4-0 rout of San Jose; TFC clinches playoff spot
Toronto FC has the best record in Major League Soccer and has clinched a post-season berth. But captain Michael Bradley and head coach Greg Vanney insist there’s still work to be done.
Jozy Altidore had a pair of second-half goals as Toronto FC routed the San Jose Earthquakes 4-0 on Saturday. Toronto’s win, coupled with the Montreal Impact’s 1-0 loss in New England later Saturday night, guaranteed TFC a playoff spot with six games remaining in the regular season.
“We feel good what about where we are, what we’ve done, but there isn’t one person who’s satisfied. Not even close,” said Bradley. “When those are your starting points, then it means the work every day to grow, to improve, that part is fun.”
Victor Vazquez and Canadian substitute Jonathan Osorio also scored as league-leading Toronto (17-3-8) extended its home regular-season undefeated streak to 15 games (12-0-3) at BMO Field that dates back to last October. Goalkeeper Alex Bono made three saves for the clean sheet as TFC won its fifth straight.
