Dylan Schambost played a long ball from the left to Max Alfsten, who sent an arcing cross to Abu Ali, who headed a shot from the top of the six-yard box that went under the crossbar and into the side netting. Abu Ali has played in 10 MLS games, nine of them as a starter, and has six goals and two assists. <\/p>\n<p>Cifuentes scored his first goal for Toronto in the 56th minute, making it 1-1.
