Recap & Highlights: Toronto FC become first team to clinch a playoff spot after win vs. FC Cincinnati

TFC have secured their spot in the playoffs after a clean and focused 1-0 victory over FC Cincinnati.

Toronto FC has much to be grateful for this lovely Thanksgiving weekend. They are the current and unabashed darling in MLS, and after each passing game they find themselves in increasingly intrepid form. But best of all, after four consecutive victories, they sit poised to clinch a playoff spot with a fifth. Going into Sunday’s match against second-last seeded FC Cincinnati, the Reds’ directive was simple: win.

With the notable skill gap between the teams, Greg Vanney posted a handful of starters that usually come in off the bench, including Patrick Mullins and youngsters Jayden Nelson and Liam Fraser.
