Ten games into the season and Toronto FC is very much still a work in progress.
Greg Vanney’s team can score (22 goals), but a penchant for losing the ball in bad places is making life difficult on defence (17 goals conceded).
There was more evidence on display Saturday as Toronto (5-4-1) dropped a 2-1 decision to the surging Philadelphia Union (7-3-2).
Spanish playmaker Alejandro Pozuelo scored on a glorious free kick, but Toronto paid for defensive miscues as a Chris Mavinga own goal and Jaimiro Monteiro’s 68th-minute strike gave Philadelphia the win before an announced BMO Field crowd of 26,219.
