The gulf in class between Toronto FC and the Union was obvious from the moment the starting lineups came out, more than an hour before the game kicked off Wednesday night. So it was no surprise that the Union were comprehensively beaten, 3-0, at BMO Field in Toronto.
“They’re the most mobile team that we’ve played in terms of guys comfortable on the ball, moving all over the field and giving you different looks,” Union manager Jim Curtin said.
Andre Blake was on the receiving end of all that skill. It was a rude welcome back to the field for the star goalkeeper, as he played for the first time since suffering a gruesome hand injury in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final.
