Toronto FC vs. Orlando City: 3 takeaways
TFC closed out a disappointing 2025 with one of their best efforts of the season, offering fans a small measure of hope for next year.
Toronto FC finished its 2025 regular season not with a whimper, but rather with a big bang.
Winless in its previous 11 matches, TFC put the hammer down in recording a 4-2 victory over playoff-bound Orlando City on Saturday before an announced crowd of 21,013 at BMO Field. It was the Reds' first win since July 16, and they improved their home record to 3-7-7. They hadn't won at BMO Field since posting a 3-0 decision over the Portland Timbers on June 28.
"It's a really important win and performance for us at home. The fans here, they've experienced really dark days until 2015, and they've experienced unbelievable highs up to 2019, 2020, and they've suffered for a number of years," coach Robin Fraser said.
Here are my three major takeaways from Saturday's match.
