Toronto FC vs. Philadelphia Union: 3 takeaways
TFC showed a lot of resolve in coming from behind to earn a valuable road point in new DP Djordje Mihailovic's team debut.
CHESTER, PA – Toronto FC only took a point from Saturday's 1-1 draw vs. the Philadelphia Union.
But considering the circumstances, the stalemate felt like a win for TFC who were able to take something off the current Supporters' Shield leaders.
Toronto (5-13-7) sits near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, now winless in three games and looks destined to miss the playoffs for a fifth straight year. If there's any silver lining for the Reds, it's that they haven’t been blown out and have been competitive in all of their games this year, most notably in matches against the league's elite clubs.
"We've shown that we've played really well against the top teams. I don’t know how many times we've played teams this year that are first, second or third in either conference and really feel like we've stepped up and battled and fought," coach Robin Fraser said.
Here are my three major takeaways from Saturday's match.
