News Room

TORONTO (AP) – Gustavo Bou scored on a penalty kick in the 83rd minute to help the MLS-leading New England Revolution beat Toronto FC 2-1 on Saturday night. The penalty was called after Eriq Zavaleta took down Adam Buksa in front of goal. Bou, in his 50th regular-season game for the Revolution, slotted home his 12th goal of the season – and 11th in his last 13 appearances. Canadian Tajon Buchanan opened the scoring for New England (13-3-4) in the 20th with a header in his BMO Field debut in front of 15,000 fans. Jonathan Osorio tied it for Toronto (3-10-6) in the 79th minute. New England tied a club record with its sixth road victory of the season. GALAXY 1, MINNESOTA UNITED 0 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Jonathan Klinsmann tied a career high with seven saves, Kévin Cabral scored for the second consecutive game and Los Angeles beat Minnesota. The 24-year-old Klinsmann – son of former German star and U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann – made his first start of the season. He made two saves in stoppage time to close out his second shutout in five career starts. Cabral, on the counter-attack, worked a give-and-go with Dejan Joveljic and then split a pair of defenders before slipping a roller inside the post to give the Galaxy (11-6-2) the lead in the 43rd minute. Minnesota dropped to 7-6-5. NEW YORK CITY FC 2, INTER MIAMI 0 HARRISON, N.J. (AP) – Valentín Castellanos had his first multi-goal game since 2019 and New York City FC beat Inter Miami. Castellanos slipped behind the defense and headed home a perfectly placed entry by Maximiliano Moralez to open the scoring in the 21st minutes. In the 46th, after Kelvin Leerdam was called for a hand-ball in the area, Castellanos converted a penalty kick. NYCFC (9-5-4) has won six straight home matches, outscoring opponents 15-2. Miami (4-9-4) had its four-game unbeaten streak – the longest in the club’s brief MLS history – snapped.
