The MLS XI, Week 9: LAFC Comes Home; Toronto FC Nurses Its CCL Hangover

Toronto FC has had better weeks.

The road back to glory has proven to be a bumpy one for the reigning MLS champs, at least early on. The Reds had their hearts broken in penalty kicks in the Concacaf Champions League final on Wednesday night. Then, three days later, they had them broken by the Chicago Fire on their return to action in league play. One-time TFCer Alan Gordon did the honors with a stoppage-time strike, forcing Toronto to settle for a draw on a night when it looked like a rebound performance and three points were there for the taking.
