Altidore’s PK tops Sounders
Dynamo blasts leagueleading Orlando City
SEATTLE — Jozy Altidore earned and scored on a penalty kick early in the first half, and short-handed Toronto FC beat the Seattle Sounders 1-0 on Saturday in a rematch of last year’s MLS Cup final.
Altidore was the best player on the field with his side playing without star Sebastian Giovinco, and starters Victor Vazquez and Eriq Zavaleta. Even though Seattle dominated possession, Altidore and Toronto (5-14) had the best chances at goal and earned a minor bit of payback for last year’s cup final.
Altidore’s goal came in the 23rd minute after he was chopped down from behind by defender Roman Torres in the penalty box.
Seattle (2-3-4) saw its 14-game home unbeaten streak end.
