Welcome to your match thread for tonight's MLS Eastern Conference match-up between Orlando City (3-3-8, 17 points) and Toronto FC (5-5-4, 19 points). It's the first of three scheduled meetings between the two sides in 2016, with the Reds returning to Orlando on Aug. 24 and the Lions making the return visit to Toronto on Sept. 28.
To say the Lions haven't fared well against Toronto FC since joining MSL would be a drastic understatement. Orlando City is not only 0-3 in the all-time series but has also scored only one goal, while conceding 11. Jozy Altidore's brace was all of the scoring in the first match-up, a 2-0 Toronto win on April 26, 2015.
