ORLANDO, Fla. - Captain Michael Bradley scored a goal and helped set up the other as Toronto defeated defending MLS champion Columbus SC 2-0 Wednesday for its first league victory of the young season.
Bradley scored in the 13th minute and Jozy Altidore added an insurance goal in the 87th after Omar Gonzalez headed on a Bradley free kick to the burly striker, who nodded it home.
The Crew were undermanned on the night, digging into their roster to fill holes.
In his first start, newly signed designated player Yeferson Soteldo showed flashes of why TFC splashed a $US6-million transfer fee on him. And star striker Jozy Altidore, recovered from a bout of illness, scored off the bench. This was a really complete team performance, a relieved Chris Armas said after notching his first league win as Toronto coach. It was a big win, there s no two ways about it, added Bradley.
