This was definitely one of the more nerve wracking matches we've had at BMO Field this year but the reds pulled through and came up with the win. Despite Jozy Altidore's ankle injury he pressed on to score the series winning goal to take Toronto FC to the 2017 Major League Soccer Cup final which will be played at home. The support was literally on fire for the full 90 minutes and before and after the match. Here's to December 9th! #SaveTheCrew
