Overview
- Toronto secured a 2-1 win over the New England Revolution to snap a 12-game winless run and lift the team up the Eastern Conference standings.
- New signing Niklas Dorsch scored his first MLS goal in only his second appearance and supplied the decisive strike that sealed the victory.
- Midfielder Djordje Mihailovic received a red card in the match and will be suspended for Toronto’s next game, creating an immediate selection gap in midfield.
- Head coach Robin Fraser said the team struggled to keep the ball and protect the lead, and Toronto still faces absences from injured regulars including Jonathan Osorio and Deandre Kerr.
- Toronto sits just outside the playoff chase and now faces Charlotte FC, a side that has beaten Toronto in each of their last four meetings and represents a key test of whether the win can spark sustained momentum.
