Toronto FC ends pre-season on losing note, beaten by the Philadelphia Union
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Toronto FC finished the MLS pre-season on a losing note Saturday, beaten 1-0 by the Philadelphia Union at the Suncoast Invitational.
C.J. Sapong scored the lone goal in the 60th minute at Al Lang Stadium
Toronto had its chances. Sebastian Giovinco forced a big save from Andre Blake in the 20th minute and the Italian forward hit the post with a low shot in the 64th minute.
Toronto returns home Sunday and opens the regular season March 6 at the New York Red Bulls.
“We would have liked to be a little bit sharper. But it was a quick turnaround from Wednesday (a 1-1 tie with Montreal). No excuses for us,” said coach Greg Vanney. “We’ll be ready to go …. As a group we need to be better than we were tonight.”
