Djordje Mihailovic era at Toronto FC begins with a road draw
TFC showed plenty of resolve by coming from behind to take a share of the points vs. the Philadelphia Union on Saturday.
- Toronto FC 1 (Kerr 90’+1’), Philadelphia Union 1 (Vassilev 4’)
- New DP Mihailovic debuts for TFC; Malik Henry earns 1st MLS assist
- Gavran starts ahead of injured Johnson; 1st MLS appearance of 2025
CHESTER, PA – A new DP, a new attitude and a new belief – and a road point against the best team in MLS.
Deandre Kerr came off the bench to score a dramatic equalizer, allowing TFC to earn a surprising 1-1 draw vs. the Supporters’ Shield leaders Philadelphia Union on a gorgeous Saturday night at Subaru Park.
The Reds appeared destined to suffer their third shutout defeat in a row before Kerr rescued a point for the visitors via a header from close range off a cross from Malik Henry. New designated player Djordje Mihailovic made his TFC debut and earned an assist on the equalizer while also putting in a solid defensive shift.
Despite the draw Toronto (5-13-7), now winless in three games, remains 12th in the Eastern Conference with nine matches remaining in the regular season. It’s the last thing that coach Robin Fraser would publicly admit to, but even he must know in his heart of hearts that the Reds are destined to miss the post-season for a fifth straight year.
