The Americans will play Canada on Wednesday in San Diego.
MLS: Lorenzo Insigne scored in the 27th minute, Sean Johnson made four saves, and visiting Toronto beat the New England Revolution, 1-0, after not winning on the road all last season.

ENGLAND: Phil Foden led Manchester City’s fightback after an astonishing miss by Erling Haaland for a 3-1 win over Manchester United in a one-sided derby that exposed the gulf between the two Premier League rivals.
City trailed 1-0 at halftime after Marcus Rashford’s long-range strike in the eighth minute and a glaring miss from the prolific Haaland from barely 2 meters out.
Foden succeeded where Haaland earlier failed, smashing in a rising drive for the equalizer in the 56th and then sweeping in a low shot in the 80th minute off Julian Alvarez’s inside pass. Haaland then took advantage of a defensive error to stroke home the third goal in stoppage time with City’s 27th shot of the match.
City moved back to within a point of first-place Liverpool with 11 games to go.
GERMANY: Bayer Leverkusen took another step toward winning the Bundesliga title with a 2-0 win at 10-man Cologne.
Goals from Jeremie Frimpong and Álex Grimaldo helped Leverkusen capitalize on Bayern Munich’s 2-2 draw at Freiburg on Friday to move 10 points clear at the top with 10 rounds remaining.

Jake Knapp, the winner last week in Mexico, was alone in third at 13 under with three holes remaining. Shane Lowry was three shots back but finished only five holes.

• Longtime Washington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov cleared waivers after not being claimed by any of the NHL’s other 31 teams and has been assigned to Hershey of the American Hockey League.

Kuznetsov has one year left on his contract at a cap hit of $7.8 million, with $8 million in actual money owed.
