Orlando City’s loss to Toronto FC sets up critical match against Chicago Fire

Orlando City dropped a second match in a row Friday night against Toronto FC. Here are three things we learned from the Lions’ 2-1 loss to TFC at BMO Field:

1. Match against Chicago is critical

Players won’t call next week’s home match against the Chicago Fire a “must-win,” but it’s certainly one the Lions can’t afford to lose.

The argument could be made Orlando City (6-4-1, 19 points) can’t afford a draw against the Fire, either.

Orlando City has playoff aspirations, which means the losses against Atlanta United and Toronto FC can’t be the start of another summer swoon.
