With a masterful goal from Wayne Rooney, DC United won midweek on his return to the MLS ring after almost a month. With that 1-0 over Orlando the table of the capital cut a streak of 5 matches without winning (4 ties) and was only two points ahead of the Eastern Conference. During the recess they played two matches for the US Cup: victory over Philadelphia and defeat with NY City.
The attack depends on the veteran English striker, the strength of the team is in defense. Toronto, on the other hand, marches seventh to 8 points of its rival in turn. The Canadian team already played two matches for the MLS during the week that passed, first was thrashed by Dallas and then broke an eight-game losing streak by beating Atlanta on Wednesday. The merit of the triumph is that he got it without Michael Bradley and Jozy Altidore (they play the Gold Cup).
They tied for 3 of the last 4 matches, most recently 0-0 in May.
Rooney scored in the last three games of DC United, 1 by MLS and the two cupbearers.
Toronto is the fourth team with the most goals against both Conferences.
Only 1 of the last 12 points visited visited Toronto.
