"The city definitely delivered tonight and they felt like a 12th man," said midfielder Terry Dunfield. "It's too bad, the script was waiting for us to hold on and take that 2-1 score to L.A."

After a poor display in its first outing at the Walt Disney World Soccer Classic, Toronto FC coach Aron Winter adjusted not only the personnel, but the formation.

But maybe the most remarkable moment in the game came right before the final whistle, when midfielder Hernandez went off the pitch favouring his right knee. He fell awkwardly. If he can’t go against TFC in the CCL match, well, that’s huge.

In a season where Toronto FC has frittered away over a dozen points due to late-game breakdowns and failures to defend set pieces, it's perhaps fitting that both demons combined at once in the game that officially eliminated the Reds from the postseason hunt. Thierry Henry's 88th-minute equalizer off of a corner kick left TFC with just one point in a 1-1 draw with the New York Red Bulls on Saturday at BMO Field.

After slipping up in their first two CONCACAF Champions League matches, Pumas UNAM flexed their muscles in Mexico City, battering Toronto FC 4-0. It could have been eight.

After pulling off back-to-back wins over Vancouver Whitecaps and a third straight Nutrilite Canadian Championship last week, Toronto unraveled on Wednesday night in a 5-0 loss to New York at Red Bull Arena.

Make it three for Toronto FC. The Reds recorded a 2-1 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC Saturday in the second leg of the Nutrilite Canadian Championship final, giving TFC a 3-2 aggregate victory in the tournament and their third consecutive Voyageurs Cup.

"I know Teal very well, we played together in the U-20s," Attakora said. "I know Teal's strengths, I know his weaknesses, and he's just a regular striker to me."

Toronto FC's busiest stretch of the season came is finally over, but if the Reds had a choice, they'd want to take the pitch again tomorrow to get the bad taste of Saturday's result out of their mouths. TFC allowed a franchise-worst six goals in a 6-2 loss to the Philadelphia Union and, incredibly, the scoreline may have flattered the Reds given all their defensive breakdowns. "It was humiliating," said Toronto head coach Aron Winter.

Another match, another slow start for Toronto FC. The Reds found themselves down two goals after just 10 minutes on Saturday night against D.C. United, and the deficit proved to be too much for TFC to overcome in an eventual 3-0 loss. "It's not good to start that way," said defender Danleigh Borman. "It's really tough on a team and it's really tough to get back from that. I think the guys tried to fight back but unfortunately it didn't happen for us today."
