Chivas suffers its first loss

Toronto FC knocked Chivas USA from the ranks of the undefeated with a 1-0 victory Wednesday night at BMO Field.

Amado Guevara’s third goal of the season gave Toronto (2-2-2) its first victory since the opener in Kansas City on March 21.

Toronto beat Chivas (4-1-1) for the first time in five games since joining MLS in 2007.

Toronto entered the game never having earned a point from Chivas in four matches, having been outscored 9-2.

Toronto broke through in the 36th minute as Guevara received a header from forward Danny Dichio, who was making his first start of the season, and then outfought the Chivas defenders.

Toronto came close to scoring again in the 44th minute as forward Chad Barrett took a pass and ran between two defenders but goalkeeper Zach Thornton blocked his shot.

Dichio tested Thornton with a header in the 62nd minute, but the goalkeeper made a reflex save.
