TFC has four wins in its past six matches since losing 2-1 to Hamilton’s Forge FC on July 10
Toronto FC midfielder Derrick Etienne jumps over Forge FC goalkeeper Christopher Kalongo during first half Canadian Championship semi-final action in Hamilton, Ont., on July 10.Hamilton’s Forge FC holds a seemingly comfortable 2-1 lead on aggregate heading into the second leg of the Canadian Championship semi-final on Tuesday night.“We’re all jelling together in the past month or so, that’s been shown,” said centre back Kevin Long on Monday.
It was Toronto’s seventh consecutive loss across all competitions. Club owner Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment and team president Bill Manning parted ways the next day. Although TFC was slumping heading into the semifinal’s first leg and has found its form since, Forge FC head coach and sporting director Bobby Smyrniotis said that momentum doesn’t matter in cup play with aggregate goals a factor.
Smyrniotis said Poku’s transfer and other tactical changes don’t particularly matter to Forge’s chances of advancing to the final because change is inherent in the CPL. The match comes in a stretch where Toronto FC is playing three times in eight days. The Reds came away with a 1-0 road win over the Houston Dynamo on Saturday, host Forge on Tuesday, and then host D.C. United on Saturday in MLS league play.
Herdman is embroiled in controversy from his time leading Canada’s women’s and men’s national teams. Current women’s head coach Bev Priestman was sent home from the Paris Olympics after Canada was caught using a drone to spy on opposing teams training sessions before the Games.
