Altidore scores 3rd goal in 4 games as Toronto FC ties Houston Dynamo
Houston - Jozy Altidore scored his third goal in four games and Toronto FC played to a 1-1 tie with the 10-man Houston Dynamo on Sunday night in a game postponed Saturday because of rain.
Toronto FC had its four-game winning streak snapped while the Dynamo remain without a win in its last six games.
Cristian Maidana scored from a difficult angle in the eighth minute after Mauro Manotas chipped the defense, before Altidore leveled the score in the 24th minute. Sebastian Giovinco rolled a corner kick to the penalty spot and Altidore smacked the ball into the back of the net with a one touch.
The Dynamo played a man down for the entire second half, Abdoulie Mansally receiving a red card in first-half stoppage time for taking down Giovinco on a breakaway.
It was the fifth consecutive draw in this serious, with the last win for either team coming in 2011.
