TFC 2 will play their first post-season game in franchise history when they host Philadelphia Union 2 on Saturday at BMO Field.
There will be a playoff game at BMO Field after all this year.
TFC 2 qualified for the post-season for the first time in their history after recording a dramatic come-from-behind 2-1 away win over Orlando City B last Sunday. Trailing 1-0, Toronto pulled even in the 86th minute through Reshaun Walkes, before Kobe Franklin scored the winner four minutes later.
