The MLS Cup favorites lived to fight another day, but Toronto FC's path to a second straight title game looks a little more complicated following a wild Eastern Conference Semifinal second leg against the New York Red Bulls.

The Red Bulls took the game on the day thanks to Bradley Wright-Phillips' redirection of a Daniel Royer shot, but physical nature of the contest proved to be the biggest talking point on the afternoon.

A tense first half that featured a number of flare-ups between Toronto and New York players boiled over as both teams headed down the tunnels at the half, resulting in straight red cards to Jozy Altidore and Sacha Kljestan for violent conduct. Altidore's red, in conjunction with a yellow-card accumulation suspension for Sebastian Giovinco, means Toronto will miss their two star forwards in the Eastern Conference Championship first leg.
