Toronto FC vs. Orlando City SC: 3 takeaways
TFC trailed again on Saturday in Orlando, but this time there was no hard-fought comeback by Robin Fraser's side.
Toronto FC have come crashing down to earth.
A 3-0 road loss to Orlando City SC on Saturday snapped a seven-game unbeaten streak by TFC, who hadn't lost since July 25 away to D.C. United.
The defeat also saw the Reds squander a chance to move above the playoff line in the Eastern Conference. Instead, they dropped two spots to 12th with nine matches remaining in the season.
Things don't get any easier for TFC with tough games ahead vs. St. Louis City SC (unbeaten in 15), and Nashville SC (the Supporters' Shield leaders).
Here are my three major takeaways from Saturday's match.
