Toronto FC travels to face Atlanta United on Saturday evening, hoping to bounce back from a loss in the Canadian Classique.
That 4-3 defeat was a gut punch to say the least. Falling to your biggest rivals at home is never ideal. But, giving up a two-goal lead and seeing your playoff dream fade away is truly disastrous.
After going 4-1-3 in their 8 MLS matches before last weekend’s debacle, it seemed as though Toronto had turned a page. Unfortunately, the team seemed to fall back into old habits against CF Montréal. Sloppy defending, disappointing goalkeeping, and lack of industry all haunted the Reds, likely reminding fans of the team’s early and midseason form.
