  • Lionel Messi started on the bench for Mimai before being subbed on in the 61st minute

TORONTO – The playoff drought continues.

Fighting to stay alive in an ultra-tight playoff race, Toronto FC came up short in losing a 1-0 heartbreaker to Inter Miami on Saturday afternoon at BMO Field in its final match of the MLS regular season. 

Leonardo Campana scored for Miami deep into injury time for the Supporters’ Shield winners, extending TFC’s winless skid to six matches in all competitions. The Reds closed out their 2024 campaign with just one win in their last eight contests.  

More important, this result coupled with D.C. United’s 2-1 road win over the New England Revolution on Saturday night dropped TFC (11-19-4, 37 points) from ninth to tenth place in the Eastern Conference and officially eliminated them from playoff contention.
