Toronto FC's playoff hopes take a blow after losing to Atlanta United. MORE:
All three goals came off corners, with the cherry on the cake coming in the 88th minute as Purata doubled his Major League Soccer season output in one outing.
Purata scored off another Lennon corner in the 62nd minute, beating Jimenez after two teammates headed the ball to one side and then the other before finding the Mexican defender. Insigne, who is married with two children, had a scare in early August as Toronto was preparing to return home from a 4-3 win in Nashville. News of a"family health situation" after the team boarded its charter prompted TFC to delay the flight so the Italian could get more information. The former Napoli captain subsequently pulled out of the MLS all-star skills competition in Minneapolis but returned to training later that week.
Bernadeschi won a penalty for Toronto in the 34th minute after his shot hit Amar Sejdic's hand. The former Montreal midfielder had little choice in the matter, unable to get out of the way, and referee Rosendo Mendoza went to the pitchside monitor on the advice of Canadian VAR official Carol Anne Chenard.Westberg, making his first start since July 13, stopped a Luiz Araujo penalty in the 12th minute, diving to his left to make the save.
Araujo tested Westberg with a long shot in the second minute after outpacing a defender. Six minutes later Atlanta fullback Andrew Gutman sliced into the box, danced around two TFC players and, after a give-and-go with Dwyer, skied his shot.
