Toronto will host Montreal at the BMO Field on Sunday in another round of the 2024 Major League Soccer campaign. The home side have hit a rough patch in the league in recent days and now find themselves sixth in the Eastern Conference with 19 points from 13 matches.
They were beaten 2-0 by Nashville in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward a point before their opponents netted twice in the final 10 minutes to snatch all three points.
Montreal, meanwhile, enjoyed a positive start to their league campaign but have since lost their way and now sit 13th in the Eastern Conference with just 12 points picked up so far.
They were beaten 3-1 by Columbus Crew in their last match, heading into the break level at 1-1 before their opponents scored twice in the second half to secure a deserved victory.
