TORONTO — After scoring a club- and tournament-record eight goals in a lopsided Canadian Championship win Tuesday over semi-pro CS Saint-Laurent, Toronto FC steps up in class Saturday when FC Cincinnati comes to BMO Field.
Cincinnati stands second overall in Major League Soccer and has won six straight since a 2-1 loss at CF Montreal on April 13. A victory Saturday would make that winning run a club record.
"I think we have a group of guys that understand when you're on the road against different types of teams, especially teams that are good with the ball, you have to understand how to defend for durations that you don't necessarily like but that allow you to get results," said Cincinnati coach Pat Noonan.
But Toronto will be without Federico Bernardeschi on Saturday. The Italian star, who has been involved in 11 goals in his last six matches across all competitions, is suspended for yellow card accumulation.Cincinnati star playmaker Lucho Acosta, meanwhile, has recorded a goal or assist in eight straight games the longest active streak in MLS and tied with Miami's Lionel Messi for the longest such run this season.
