Toronto FC has maintained its pursuit of an MLS Eastern Conference playoff spot through a series of competitive results. The club extended its home unbeaten streak to seven games following a 3-3 draw against Orlando City SC, where Matheus Pereira scored a 90th-minute equalizer to secure a point.

Building on that momentum, Toronto FC achieved a 2-0 away victory against the New York Red Bulls. This win, marked by an early own goal and a late strike by Dániel Sallói, was the club’s first away win at the Red Bulls in ten years. Despite facing heavy pressure and playing shorthanded due to player suspensions and a coaching suspension, the team earned seven of nine possible points in a single week. Toronto FC is now tied on points with the Red Bulls and FC Cincinnati for the final playoff position.
