TORONTO, Canada—As Toronto FC general manager Ali Curtis mentioned on a number of occasions during the team’s most recent press conference when the club announced the dismissal of former head coach Chris Armas, in many ways, Major League Soccer is a results-oriented business.
And on Wednesday, the players responded to the firing of Armas by earning a result, picking up all three points for the first time in almost two months when they defeated the Eastern Conference leaders New England Revolution—in New England—by a score of 3-2.
While the team had to hold on for dear life for the majority of the match after quickly jumping out to a 3-0 lead, at the end of the day, they found a way to see out the victory, something the club has not been able to say for a very long time.
