Toronto FC rediscovered the solid defensive form it displayed earlier in the season with a midweek 0-0 draw away to the Philadelphia Union.

Now Toronto (7-7-2) is looking to keep the positive vibes going during this weekend's visit to D.C. United.

The draw against Philadelphia marked the club's sixth clean sheet of the MLS campaign and was a welcomed result after conceding 10 goals in its previous four league contests (0-3-1). Currently sitting sixth in the Eastern Conference, TFC could climb into a top four spot with a win against D.C. if other results also go their way this weekend.
