Red Bulls Lock Up 6th Spot In East With Win Over Toronto FC
HARRISON, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Tom Barlow and Brian White scored about two minutes apart, and the New York Red Bulls beat Toronto FC 2-1 on the final day of the regular season Sunday.
Barlow put away a header from point-blank range to open the scoring in the 24th minute. Florian Valot’s corner kick was deflected by the near post off White to Barlow for the finish at the far post.
Sean Davis lobbed an arcing ball to Kyle Duncan, who played a header across the area to White for a tap-in goal in the 26th.
This corner kick, though…
