Toronto FC's miserable 2026 MLS season came to an end on Saturday in a 4-1 road loss to the Philadelphia Union. 

TFC put in a dismal performance at Subaru Park, which was a fitting conclusion to a dismal campaign that saw them finish 12th in the Eastern Conference for a second consecutive time and fail to make the playoffs for a sixth straight year. 

"We feel like we're in a decent spot, all things considered with how [things] went in the first half and then second half just obviously got away from us. So, not a good game from us. We're not happy about that and the results and it's a sh*t way to end the season," Richie Laryea said.  

Here are my three major takeaways from Saturday's match.
