Toronto FC survived a hectic month of May, but it has one more game to go before taking a much-needed break.

A midweek 0-0 draw away to the Philadelphia Union was TFC's eighth game in all competitions this month. After this Saturday's visit to D.C. United the Reds will go on hiatus for two weeks and get a chance to rest and recuperate.

"I'm going to take some time off with my family and see some friends and family. But we don't focus on that now; we focus on the last push that’s in D.C. It's going to be a huge game," defender Sigurd Rosted said after the draw in Philadelphia.
