Toronto FC riding a 5-game losing streak after loss in Charlotte
  • Toronto FC 0, FC Charlotte 3 (Świderski 8’; 45’+2’; Dejaegere 56’) 
  • TFC are winless in 20 straight road matches in all competitions (16 losses)
  • Herdman watched game from a private box as Dunfield was on touchline

Although it found success before at Bank of America Stadium, Toronto FC couldn’t cash in there again on Wednesday night.

The presence of incoming coach John Herdman didn’t do much to give a lift to an anaemic TFC side who saw their losing streak extended to five consecutive games following a humbling 3-0 road defeat to Charlotte FC.

A pair of first-half penalty kicks by Karol Świderski helped sink Toronto who is in serious danger of suffering its worst season in club history. With two matches left, Toronto (4-18-10, 22 points) remains on course to establish new franchise records for fewest wins and points in a single season – in 2012, the Reds went 5-21-8 and collected just 23 points).
