TFC 2 vs. Philadelphia in MLS NEXT Pro playoffs: What you need to know
There will be a playoff game at BMO Field after all this year.
TFC 2 qualified for the post-season for the first time in their history after recording a dramatic come-from-behind 2-1 away win over Orlando City B last Sunday. Trailing 1-0, Toronto pulled even in the 86th minute through Reshaun Walkes, before Kobe Franklin scored the winner four minutes later.
TFC 2 (12-9-3) finished the MLS NEXT Pro regular season in first place in the Northeast Division and second in the Eastern Conference. Four teams qualify from each conference for the playoffs: the two division champions, and the next two teams with the most points.
"We're happy where we're at. We believe we're a team that can go all the way," Toronto coach Gianni Cimini said ahead of his team's Eastern Conference semifinal this weekend.
