Toronto FC eliminated from Leagues Cup after latest loss

John Molinaro -
  • Toronto FC 0, Atlas Fútbol Club 1 (Caicedo 2’)
  • TFC have yet to score, earn a point in 6 games under Dunfield
  • Bernardeschi benched due to hamstring injury, coach said

TORONTO – The search for goals and points by Toronto FC under interim coach Terry Dunfield continues with seemingly no end in sight.

TFC bowed out of the Leagues Cup following a 1-0 loss to Mexican side Atlas Fútbol Club at BMO Field on Sunday night, a result that further compounded the Reds’ woes during this nightmarish campaign.

Despite conceding an early goal, it wasn’t a bad overall effort from Toronto. Considering their recent run of form, the Reds can take some small comfort in limiting the Liga MX club to just one goal. But moral victories won’t do this struggling franchise any good right now – it needs the genuine kind.
