Toronto host Colorado Rapids in the MLS on Saturday, aiming for just their third win of the top-flight campaign. After starting their campaign with back-to-back losses, the Reds won two of their next three, pulling off a narrow 1-0 win over Cincinnati before a 2-1 defeat of Columbus Crew with Walker Zimmerman netting a late winner.
The recent improvement in form has seen them rise up to seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings with seven points from five games as Toronto aim to keep climbing higher.
Thanks for the submission!
Interestingly, Colorado Rapids are also in seventh place in the Western Conference table, but have accrued two points more.
Like Toronto, they too started their season with a loss, but the Pids picked themselves up with back-to-back wins over Portland Timbers and LA Galaxy before succumbing to New York City.
Colorado once again responded with a 4-1 drubbing of Sporting Kansas City in their last game before the international break.
