Orlando City snaps 9-game skid, beats Toronto FC 2-1
ORLANDO, Fla. — Chris Schuler scored his first MLS goal since 2014 to help Orlando City beat slumping Toronto FC 2-1 on Saturday night and snap a franchise-record nine-game losing streak.
Defending champion Toronto (4-11-4), meanwhile, is winless in its past six games (0-4-2) and is now 11 points out of a playoff spot.
“Again, a lot of self-inflicted wounds over the course of the night,” Toronto coach Greg Vanney said. “Whenever you play MLS (in the) summer, especially in Orlando, in the south, where the temperatures and humidity are high, we have to be more efficient with the ball, we have to be cleaner with the ball.”
Orlando City (7-11-1) won for the first time since beating Real Salt Lake 3-1 on May 6. Orlando City’s skid was tied for the third-longest in MLS history. The New York Red Bulls lost 12 in a row in 1999 and Real Salt Lake lost 10 straight in 2005.
