Toronto FC looking to bounce back after disappointing showing in Ottawa
TORONTO — Expect a different Toronto FC on Wednesday as the MLS club looks to rally from a 2-1 deficit against the Ottawa Fury in the second leg of their Canadian championship semifinal.
Toronto coach Greg Vanney is likely to field a stronger lineup at BMO Field, urging those involved to show more intensity and concentration this time around against a motivated USL opponent.
“I was disappointed in the group and because of that there will be some changes,” Vanney said after training Tuesday.
A week ago in Ottawa, Vanney used just one regular starter (Justin Morrow). While Toronto’s roster depth is a big part of the reason the club leads the MLS standings at 8-1-5, this particular mix did not work despite the starting unit’s combined 840 MLS regular-season games.
