Toronto FC II took a firm step forward with a 1-0 win over the Charleston Battery on Saturday afternoon, kicking off this final phase of the campaign in style thanks to Shaan Hundal's first goal of the season.
Results elsewhere mean that TFC II remain ten points behind the dividing line, but with the confidence boosting result against the former Eastern Conference leaders – Charlotte overtook Charleston on the night – and the fact that seven of their final eleven matches are at home – where they have a record of four wins, three losses, and three draws, winning their last two, three of the last four, and taken points from five of their last six – means that these final three months of the season are sure to provide some drama.
