Toronto FC Faces Playoff Crucial Matches

Toronto FC faces a crucial week with two home matches against the New York Red Bulls and Inter Miami CF as they fight for a playoff spot in the MLS. Currently sitting eighth in the Eastern Conference with 37 points, TFC must secure two wins to maintain any hope of reaching the postseason, which they haven't achieved since 2020. Coach John Herdman emphasizes the importance of focusing on controllables and the need for high intensity and effort from the team. With other teams closely trailing, including Philadelphia and CF Montreal, Toronto's position remains precarious. Midfielder Matty Longstaff believes in the team's potential to succeed, recalling similar playoff scenarios from his past. The outcome of these matches could determine TFC's playoff fate, likely extending their decision until the final day of the regular season.
