Toronto FC vs. CF Montreal: 3 takeaways

The window of opportunity to get back into the playoff race keeps getting smaller and smaller for Toronto FC.

TFC's post-season hopes were dealt another crushing blow in Saturday's 1-0 loss to CF Montreal at Stade Saputo, a result that extended the team's winless streak to five games, with four losses. Overall, the Reds have just two victories and eight points from their previous MLS 15 matches.

Toronto (5-12-4) faces a Herculean task to get into the playoffs with only 13 games left in the campaign, as it would have to leapfrog six teams and close an eight-point gap.

Here are my three major takeaways from Saturday's loss in the latest installment of the Canadian Classique.
