Toronto FC closes out disastrous campaign with 7th straight loss

• Toronto FC 0, Orlando City 2 (McGuire 63’, 74’) 
• John Herdman makes his head coaching debut for TFC 
• Michael Bradley plays in his last game before retiring

TORONTO – It’s official: This year’s version of Toronto FC is the worst in franchise history. 

The 2012 iteration of the MLS team was notorious for its dysfunction on and off the field and for losing nine straight games to begin the year. But even that side managed to win five matches and collect 23 points in a 34-game season.  

Those modest benchmarks proved to be beyond the capabilities of the current TFC team who capped off a disastrous 2023 campaign with a 2-0 loss to Orlando City on Saturday night at BMO Field. 

In doing so, Toronto (4-20-10, 22 points) set new franchise records for the fewest wins and points in a single MLS season. The Reds ended the season with seven straight losses (and just one win in their last 21 games) and finished dead last in the overall league standings while missing the playoffs for a third straight year.
