Toronto leapfrogged the New York Red Bulls and D.C. United on the final day of the regular season to finish fourth in the East via goal difference over D.C. United. TFC and D.C. United will meet at BMO Field on Oct. 19 or 20 with the winner facing conference-leading New York City FC in the Eastern semifinals.
Toronto came into Decision Day in sixth spot in the Eastern Conference, but able to finish anywhere from fourth to seventh. Jumping to fourth required a Toronto win and help from other quarters. While Toronto had more of the ball in the first half, Columbus had better scoring chances early. Goalkeeper Quentin Westberg was called upon twice when long balls came in over the Toronto defence.
Curacao 'keeper Elroy Room made two marvellous back-to-back saves in the 36th minute after a Columbus clearance deflected to Altidore at the edge of the penalty box. A diving Room got a hand to Altidore's shot and then got back up to somehow deny Michael Bradley, who seemingly had an open goal prior to Room's acrobatics.
