Toronto FC’s poor form in Major League Soccer carried over into the Canadian Championship on Wednesday.
John Herdman’s men made the trip to face Canadian Premier League side Forge FC but lost 2-1 in the first leg of their semi-final.
Béni Badibanga netted a stunning goal from inside his own half after only 11 minutes when he saw goalkeeper Luka Gavran off his line.
A slick flick from Kwasi Poku immediately after then had the hosts up 2-0.
Toronto did have Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi in its starting lineup, but neither star could find the net.
Instead it was Prince Owusu who pulled one back for the visitors, but they still have plenty to do at BMO Field if they want to turn this around.
Forge FC notably beach CF Montréal to reach the semis and will have all eyes set on the final.
