An 87th-minute goal by D.C.’s Christian Benteke made for a tense ending but Toronto hung on through six minutes of added time
Bernardeschi, the club’s leading scorer, was benched by coach Bob Bradley after an explosive outburst following last week’s 1-0 loss at Austin FC with the Italian star complaining about the team’s tactics.
D.C. looked better to open the second half but Toronto added to the lead in the 72nd minute with Insigne playing provider to Thompson on a counterattack. In contrast, D.C. had lost just one of its previous seven matches and had shut out its last two opponents. The giant BMO banner that reads “Better Together” that is brought onto the midfield circle before kickoff seemed to speak volumes Saturday. So did the “Free Fede” banner in the south stand.
A Matt Hedges header off an Insigne corner in the 14th minute flashed just wide of the D.C. goalpost.
