Danny Dichio's 7th minute mark held up as the only goal of the match. The lumbering striker outworked DC United's Devon McTavish and was able to hook the ball around goalkeeper Zach Wells, just inside the post.
A physical match that saw both clubs struggle to mount much of anything offensively, Dichio starred again as he swept in to clear a rebound off a brilliant Greg Sutton save, undoubtedly saving, what would have been, the tying goal.
Toronto FC had great difficulty winning midfield, Amado Geuvara impressed, but Ricketts and Robert were disappointing and later subbed out for Jarrod Smith and Todd Dunivant respectively as TFC focused on protecting the lead. Mo Edu and Carl Robinson were also held ineffective. Our back line was solid, and Marco Velez continues to improve. Tyrone Marshall also played one of his stronger games of the year. Brennan and Wynne were there usual dependable selves. Sutton was not tested often, but excellent when he had to be, robbing Fred in the 64th minute.
Total TFC Man of the Match: Danny Dichio.
