Toronto FC vs. New York Red Bulls: 3 takeaways
Once again on Saturday, TFC showed they are completely incapable of fighting back after taking the first punch.
Toronto FC remains on course to record its worst ever MLS campaign following Saturday's 3-0 loss away to the New York Red Bulls.
Losers of six straight, TFC (4-19-10, 22 points) can establish new franchise records for fewest wins and points in a single season if they fail to pick up a victory in their finale at home vs. Orlando City on Oct. 21. In 2012, the Reds went 5-21-8 and collected just 23 points.
Incredibly, Toronto has won just one of its last 20 games (1-16-3) in all competitions. TFC finished as the only team in MLS this season without a single road win, with their previous victory away from BMO Field coming in a 2-0 decision over Charlotte FC on Aug. 28, 2022.
"Obviously at this point with so many losses, we can't hide from anything, but we've come to a point where everything that can go wrong, goes wrong, and even when we might be deserving, [like] today, maybe to go to halftime tied, every little mistake, we get punished. So yeah, I think it's been quite the story for the past three months," midfielder Alonso Coello said after the loss.
Here are my three major takeaways from Saturday's match.
