Toronto have come from a goal down to win 2-1 at DC United in the MLS Eastern Conference.

The home side, bottom of the conference, took the lead after 20 minutes when the referee awarded a penalty for a foul on Nick DeLeon. Dwayne De Rosario converted the spot kick into the bottom corner.

They missed the chance to double their lead 10 minutes later when Lionard Pajoy fired just wide after collecting De Rosario's through-ball.

It was a miss that was instantly punished, as Toronto counter-attacked before winning a free kick, which saw Robert Earnshaw head home after Steven Caldwell's delivery.

Another free kick, five minutes from half time, allowed the visitors to take the lead when Daniel Woolard diverted the ball into his own goal.

De Rosario and DeLeon both missed the target from good positions in the second half, as the home side pushed for an equaliser.

Rafael almost found one when he met DeLeon's corner towards the end of the game, but headed wide from six yards out.

That was the final chance for either side, and the match finished 2-1.
