Toronto FC Sinks to Bottom Two After Fifth Winless Match
Toronto FC’s struggles continued in their fifth match of the MLS season, falling 2-1 despite the long-awaited season debut of Lorenzo Insigne alongside Federico Bernardeschi, under new head coach Robin Fraser. An error by Caylon Monlouis led to a penalty, which Raheem Edwards calmly converted to give the opponents a 1-0 lead. In the second half, Deandre Kerr scored his second goal in as many games, finishing a cross from Derrick Etienne Jr. to briefly draw TFC level. However, Emil Forsberg sealed the win for the visitors with a clinical finish, despite hesitating to celebrate in case of VAR intervention. With four losses and one draw, Toronto remains bottom of the table, raising concerns with the looming introduction of relegation in U.S. soccer, where TFC could be among the first at risk. Their next match is at home on March 29 against the Vancouver Whitecaps

Toronto FC se hunde en el fondo tras quinto partido sin ganar
Toronto FC prolongó su mala racha en la MLS, cayendo 2-1 en su quinto partido de la temporada, pese al esperado debut de Lorenzo Insigne junto a Federico Bernardeschi, bajo el mando del nuevo entrenador Robin Fraser. Un error de Caylon Monlouis provocó un penal que Raheem Edwards convirtió con frialdad para poner en ventaja a los rivales. En la segunda mitad, Deandre Kerr marcó su segundo gol consecutivo, finalizando un centro de Derrick Etienne Jr. para igualar momentáneamente. Sin embargo, Emil Forsberg selló la victoria visitante con un remate clínico, aunque dudó en celebrar por temor a la intervención del VAR. Con cuatro derrotas y un empate, Toronto sigue en el fondo de la tabla, encendiendo alarmas ante la inminente implementación del descenso en el fútbol estadounidense, donde TFC podría estar entre los primeros en riesgo. Su próximo partido será en casa el 29 de marzo contra Vancouver Whitecaps.
