Toronto FC: 4 stories to watch this week
Josh Sargent's cameo off the bench last weekend gave TFC a taste of what to expect from him once he's in the starting 11.
Toronto FC didn't play its best last weekend, yet it still found itself seconds away from recording a second consecutive win.
But then the roof caved in and they conceded at the death, ultimately settling for a 1-1 draw against the New York Red Bulls in its home opener. It was a disappointing result and performance by TFC, who were coming off an impressive road win against FC Cincinnati.
"I thought we were fighting, but we weren't playing enough. I think we had a lot more control in Cincinnati over the game defensively and offensively. That was missing today a little bit more and we just kept observing pressure in the second half and that's very, very unfortunate. We're going to have to make up for those points in the season somewhere. But, overall, it wasn't our best day," winger Dániel Sallói admitted.
