When Toronto FC last defeated D.C. United, Wayne Rooney was in the lineup for the visitors in a playoff meeting in 2019.
The Reds’ 5-1 win in extra time proved to be Rooney’s final game in MLS before he returned home to England.Plenty, needless to say, has changed in the intervening years for both clubs.Dating back to last year’s regrettable season, TFC’s winless run has reached nine games
When wins have been elusive and when a shot in the arm is needed, a win by any means becomes paramount and Saturday’s matchup against D.C. must be viewed as a must win for the home side. Reports out of Washington indicate Estrada will not be available for United, having returned to his native country for family reasons. He will then report for national team duties ahead of World Cup qualifiers.
There’s a real possibility of one of Italy or Portugal, perhaps even both in an unlikely scenario, missing out on soccer’s biggest stage, and Canada punching its ticket.
