Alejandro Pozuelo scored on an elegant free kick Sunday to give Toronto FC a 1-0 win over Columbus Crew SC and a home game in the first-round of the MLS playoffs.

Toronto FC defender Justin Morrow and Columbus Crew SC midfielder Will Trapp vie for the ball during first half of MLS soccer action at BMO Field in Toronto, Sunday, Oct. 6, 2019. THE CANADIAN PRESS/ Cole BurstonLast Updated Sunday, October 6, 2019 8:05PM EDTToronto came into the final day of the MLS regular season in sixth place, needing to beat Columbus and have D.C. United and the New York Red Bulls stumble in order to climb into fourth in the East for a first-round home playoff game.

Toronto has two weeks before it plays again. U.S. team officials will also be monitoring their big man given an Oct. 15 CONCACAF Nations League match with Canada at BMO Field. “This place comes alive in October, November. So what it means is we get one night to set the playoff tone here,” he added. A moment of brilliance from Pozuelo in the 57th minute ended a scoreless deadlock after Altidore was taken down just outside the penalty box. The Spaniard coolly slotted the ball over the Columbus wall and into the corner of the goal, delighting the announced crowd of 23,692.
