HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — Elias Manoel scored a goal, Dennis Gjengaar added his first goal in MLS and the New York Red Bulls beat Toronto FC 2-0 Saturday night in a game delayed by inclement weather.

Manoel ripped a shot from just outside the area that slipped under the crossbar and inside the post to give New York a 1-0 lead in the 30th minute. The 22-year-old forward in his third year with the club has a career-high four goals this season.

Wiki Carmona stole a pass near midfield and raced down the left side before bending a low cross to the back post where Gjengaar put away a sliding finish into a wide-open net to give the Red Bulls a 2-0 lead in the 47th.

Cameron Harper came on for Dylan Nealis in the 65th minute and scored a goal in the 71st to make it 3-0.

Toronto had 57% possession but was outshot by the Red Bulls 15-5, 7-2 on target.

New York (9-4-7) snapped a three-game winless streak.

Toronto (7-10-3) has lost three games in a row and is winless in six straight.
