It is safe to say that Toronto FC’s playoff hopes are virtually officially over. Conceding four goals in back-to-back games during a playoff push would diminish any chance of making the postseason, for any team.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium has always been a difficult venue to play at, and the Reds have still never recorded a regular season victory in Atlanta.
The first big play of Saturday night’s match came in the 11th minute when Atlanta were awarded a penalty. Defender Shane O’Neill brought down Brooks Lennon in the box.
Quentin Westberg made his first start since July 13th and saved Luiz Araujo’s penalty in convincing fashion.
