Head coach Bob Bradley made two changes to Toronto’s starting XI after their 2-1 road loss against the Columbus Crew last week.
Carlos Salcedo returned from a one-game suspension to anchor the centre of defence, with O’Neill starting beside him in a back three alongside Lukas MacNaughton. Canadian youngsters Noble Okello and Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty were moved to the bench.
As has been the case over the last several games, TFC ‘keeper Alex Bono was tested in the first minute of the match, having to make a couple quick saves against the DC attack.
