New York City (9–7–4) moved into sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 31 points. Wolf opened the scoring in the 20th minute with his team-leading ninth goal of the season. His side-volley shot went off the far post and redirected off the other post into the net for a 1–0 lead. It was just the seventh first-half goal this season for NYCFC, which entered lowest in the league in that category. Mitja Ilenic made it 2–0 in the 49th with his second goal of the season. Agustín Ojeda dribbled into the area for a cross that deflected off Ilenic inside the far post.
Toronto (4–11–5) cut its deficit to 2–1 in the 70th on an own goal. Theo Corbeanu got past his defender along the right sideline and got to the endline for a cross that went off defender Justin Haak and Romero's arm into the net. But four minutes later Kevin O'Toole scored his first goal since March 9, 2024, off a great pass by Wolf. Toronto, which entered with just 25 goals allowed this season, was looking for its first road victory against New York City since September 2020.

Short-handed Inter Miami secure draw against FC Cincinnati
Despite being without Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba, host Inter Miami dueled FC Cincinnati to a scoreless draw on Saturday night in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Messi and Alba were both suspended on Friday for skipping the MLS All-Star Game earlier this week. Still, Miami (12-4-6, 42 points) barely found a way to secure a valuable point in its chase of Supporter's Shield leader Philadelphia (15-5-5, 50 points) 10 days after losing 3-0 in the first meeting between the clubs. Cincinnati nearly scored the game-winning goal in the second minute of second- half stoppage time when Miles Robinson appeared to sneak a shot past Miami keeper Rocco Rios Novo. But Robinson was called for a foul on Inter Miami's Noah Allen. The call was upheld even after video-assisted review. With Messi out, Inter Miami leaned more on Luis Suarez and Tadeo Allende up front. With Alba out, and Miami also missing Maxi Falcon due to yellow card accumulation, it started Benja Cremaschi at the left back position. Miami did not approach the game tentatively, however, as it put together two great scoring chances in the first 15 minutes of the match. Fafa Picault, who started with Messi out, nearly scored on a header in the 11th minute. Cincinnati goalkeeper Roman Celentano, who came with his second clean sheet against Inter Miami and third in a row overall. Rocco Rios Novo started for Inter Miami in goal for the injured Oscar Ustari and recorded his clean sheet and the club's first since another scoreless draw against Al Ahly on June 14 in the first match of the FIFA Club World Cup. It was Miami's first shutout in an MLS game since beating Columbus 1-0 on April 19. Cincinnati superstar Evander, who scored twice in the first game against Inter Miami, was held scoreless. But Evander had a great chance early in the second half but missed the goal on a close-range shot. Miami outshot Cincinnati 13-8. But Cincinnati outshot Miami 4-3 on shots on target.

Ledecky has the year's second-best time of 3:56.81. She will face McIntosh again in the 800 free later in the meet. Though she holds the 400 free world record McIntosh has failed to win gold in the event in the Olympics or previous world championships. McIntosh will also be after gold in the worlds in the 200- and 400-individual medleys and the 200 butterfly. Famed Olympian Michael Phelps is the only swimmer to have won five individual gold medals at a world championships. The men's 400 free final is also on Sunday's schedule.

Yankees acquire infielder Amed Rosario in trade with Nationals
The scuffling New York Yankees added infield depth on Saturday night, acquiring Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals for pitcher Clayton Beeter and a minor leaguer. The move came hours after New York placed slugger Aaron Judge on the injured list–and one day after the Yankees obtained third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies for two pitching prospects. McMahon made his Yankees debut on Saturday in a 9-4 loss to Philadelphia. The versatile and speedy Rosario can play third base, second base, shortstop, and the outfield. He's a right-handed hitter with an .816 OPS against left-handed pitching, which makes him a good fit for a part-time role with the Yankees. McMahon and second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. both bat left-handed. And shortstop Anthony Volpe, a right-handed hitter, is batting just .217 in his third major league season. Beeter was 0-1 with a 14.73 ERA in two appearances out of New York's bullpen this season. He was optioned to Triple-A Rochester. The last-place Nationals also receive 18-year-old outfield prospect Browm Martinez, who was hitting .404 (23 for 57) with three homers, 16 RBIs, and 13 stolen bases in 18 games with the Dominican Summer League Yankees this year.
