TFC sees home unbeaten streak end

Streak dating back to Sept. 22, 2007 comes to end in loss to FCD

TORONTO -- While Toronto FC has had their share of struggles recently, one positive that the club could still hold onto was the fact that they were one of just two MLS teams with an unbeaten home record. In fact, the Reds hadn't lost a league game at BMO Field since a 2-1 loss to Columbus on Sept. 22, 2007. Since that setback to the Crew, TFC were 6-0-5 in 11 matches on their home pitch. The streak finally ended on Sunday evening in a 2-0 defeat to FC Dallas. The game featured a pair of red cards for TFC, a physical breakdown of Toronto's newest forward and the end result was FCD becoming the first MLS side in more than 10 months to break down the BMO Field 'fortress.'
The key moment of the match was a foul called on Toronto midfielder Amado Guevara in the 80th minute. While Kenny Copper carried the ball down the left side, Guevara and Hoops midfielder Pablo Ricchetti scuffled for position in the penalty area in preparation for a potential cross. Ricchetti delivered a pair of elbows toward Guevara, who responded with a blow that left Ricchetti bloodied.
