EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Alejandro Pozuelo broke a tie in the 59th minute and Toronto FC beat the MLS-leading Columbus Crew SC 3-1 on Sunday night in their temporary home in Connecticut.
Toronto is 3-0-1 in its last four games.
Columbus had a six-game unbeaten streak snapped.
Pozuelo scored his sixth goal of the season, and Richie Laryea gave Toronto insurance in the 76th minute when he split a pair of defenders to the left of the goal and punched in a shot.
Jozy Altidore tied it in the 48th minute, eight minutes after Toronto’s Chris Mavinga put Columbus ahead with an own goal off a failed clearing attempt.
Crew SC travels to Toyota Stadium, in Frisco, Texas, to take on FC Dallas Saturday (8:30 p.m./SportsTime Ohio).
