The international break felt long, with a two-week lay-off after Toronto FC’s win in Montreal. Thankfully, the wait is over as the Reds will be back in action this weekend, taking on the San Jose Earthquakes at home.
TFC have a six-point lead on New York City FC in the Supporters’ Shield race after the Pigeons beat Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday. With just seven games left, the Reds are 12 points back of the 1998 LA Galaxy’s single-season record. A win against San Jose would certainly help the cause, especially with some tough contests coming up, like an away date at New England.
