Toronto FC slips down MLS East standings with 2-1 loss to D.C. United
TORONTO — At the beginning of the MLS season as Toronto FC played eight consecutive games on the road during stadium renovations, the team kept reminding itself that the home dates would come during the all-important stretch run.
Well they’re here and they’re not working out too well.
Toronto FC was beaten 2-1 by D.C. United on Saturday night, extending its home winless streak to five (0-2-3). Put it another way, Greg Vanney’s team has dropped 12-of-15 points at BMO Field during that run.
First in the East midweek, Toronto (13-9-10, 49 points) comes out of the weekend third behind the two New York teams. Imagine where it would be if it had been able to dispatch opponents at home.
