Wednesday night was a night of firsts for Toronto FC.
The club hosted a playoff game for the first time to open Major League Soccer’s post-season on the road to the MLS Cup.
The Reds’ 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Union was their first ever in post-season play.
And up next, the franchise’s first trip to the Eastern Conference semifinals, a two-leg series starting Sunday against New York City FC.
While the team is moving into uncharted territory, it got there in a familiar way.
The Reds’ leading scorer and playmaker, striker Sebastian Giovinco, scored once and set up another goal before an enthusiastic, if chilled, crowd at BMO Field.
