The game in 100 words (or less): Toronto FC had too much firepower for defensively challenged Houston, and the hosts carved up the Dynamo for a 2-0 win north of the border. Giovinco was creative and flashy if not sharp, and Jozy Altidore was the benefactor as the American bagged both goals. After an early spell of Houston possession off the opening whistle, Toronto dominated from start to finish, with the midfield bossing the game.
Three moments that mattered
16' - Raheem Edwards on the ball out wide, he burst into the box and - seeing Giovinco draw 2 defenders in an offside position - he cut back for Altidore who finished cooly from the spot. Too easy for the opener.
32'- Jozy doubled his lead as he played an absolutely brilliant one-two with Giovinco. The Italian popped it over the top as Altidore slipped through the line, and the USMNT star had the simplest of finishes.
Jozy ➡️ Giovinco ➡️ Jozy

85' - Houston looked to get back into things by pouring men forward, but to no avail. The closest they came was off a corner as Alex ripped off a shot that sailed over the bar.
