Just how big was that win over Real Salt Lake for Toronto FC? Was Robin Fraser's job on the line?
– Shannon B.
Toronto FC finally earned its first win of the season courtesy of a 1-0 decision over Real Salt Lake on Saturday. It was only the Reds' second win in Utah and their first there since their inaugural 2007 MLS season.
More importantly, it was the club's first win under new coach Robin Fraser. TFC entered this weekend riding a 13-match winless run (0-8-5) in league play since earning a 2-1 home decision over Austin FC on Sept. 14 when John Herdman was still in charge. Toronto had collected just four out of possible 24 points before Saturday, which meant it was six points off the pace of where it was last year.
