Toronto’s Prince Owusu scored on a penalty kick in the 66th to get within 2-1. But New York answered three minutes later when Morgan also converted from the spot.
Toronto finished with 10 men, losing Federico Bernardeschi to a second yellow card in the 75th.
Manoel added an insurance goal in the 88th.
