STEP BY STEP
The Reds enter Matchday 12 eager to bounce back and return to winning ways in the ninth and final match of a nine-game MLS home stretch from March 14 to May 9.
After earning results in six of their first seven home matches (2W-1L-4T), TFC played to a 1-1 draw against Western Conference and Supporters’ Shield leaders San Jose Earthquakes (9W-1L-1T, 28 points) on Saturday, May 2. Prior to kick-off, Toronto FC and BMO formally handed the keys of the stadium over to Canada Soccer in a pre-game ceremony featuring Kevin Blue (CEO & General Secretary, Canada Soccer), Catherine Roche (CMO, BMO), Jason Hernandez (TFC General Manager), Jonathan Osorio & Richie Laryea (TFC players) as part of the club’s True North Match celebrations.
The Reds struck early, with Dániel Sallói curling home just 110 seconds in following a neat midfield exchange between Markus Cimermancic and Jonathan Osorio. The 2nd minute goal was Sallói’s team-leading fourth of the season and Cimermancic’s first assist for TFC. San Jose equalized through Preston Judd in the 13th minute, while TFC II defender Micah Chisholm made his club debut as a 46th minute substitute, becoming the eighth player to debut for the Reds this season.
On Tuesday, May 5, Toronto FC fell 1-3 to reigning Canadian Premier League champions Atlético Ottawa in the preliminary round of the 2026 TELUS Canadian Championship at BMO Field. Toronto FC II trio Jackson Gilman, Reid Fisher and Jahmarie Nolan all made their First Team debuts in the starting eleven, while Antone Bossenberry started his first match for the club. The Reds opened the scoring early again, as Deandre Kerr finished Derrick Etienne Jr.’s low cross with a powerful first-time strike. The 16th minute strike marked Kerr’s 21st goal for Toronto FC, moving the Homegrown forward into joint-seventh on the club’s all-time goalscoring charts. Atlético Ottawa equalized through Ballou Tabla in the 71st minute before the Canadian attacker struck again 10 minutes later to give his side a 2-1 lead. The CPL side were then awarded a late penalty in stoppage time, which Tabla converted from 12 yards to complete his second-half hat-trick and seal a 3-1 victory for the visitors.
