The road was unkind to Toronto FC II once more as they were unable to continue their run of strong outings against the Charlotte Independence, losing 2-0 on Saturday night at the Sportplex at Matthews in North Carolina.
Jorge Herrera opened the scoring in the 18th minute, walking into the area to beat Caleb Patterson-Sewell in goal and Caleb Calvert made it two in the 42nd minute, rising up at the back-post to meet a ball from Alex Martinez for a strong header.
It was a second consecutive away loss to start the 2018 USL season, having fallen 2-1 in New York the previous weekend.
