Cahill named MLS POTW for breaking hearts at BMO Field

Tim Cahill became just the latest in a long line of players who have broken the hearts of the fans at BMO Field with a late goal. But the Australian’s two-goal performance, including an 89th-minute headed winner, earned him MLS Player of the Week honours. Cahill got the most first-place votes from the membership of the North American Soccer Reporters. The fact that Toronto FC coughs up points late in games has become sort of a cruel joke with the team’s long-suffering supporters. Cahill gave the New York Red Bulls a 1-0 lead over the Reds on Sunday with a left-footed finish that was set up by a wonderful dummy from Thierry Henry. But, Cahill had more to do — after Jonathan Osorio had drawn TFC level, the Aussie won the game late with a powerful header. How The 11 voted: Because Cahill played the full 90, we gave him the nod over Vancouver’s Kekuta Manneh, who turned Saturday’s game against FC Dallas on its ear after he was introduced as a sub. Manneh scored one and set up another as the Whitecaps rallied from two goals down to draw the Hoops. Manneh was dominant down the wing.
