Toronto FC continues a busy week against good opposition when it visits the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday.
Both teams have work to do on a short turnaround, having each played at home Sunday. Toronto tied Nashville SC 1-1 and Philadelphia drew the Chicago Fire 1-1.
Toronto (3-8-5) is unbeaten in five games (2-0-3) since Javier Perez took over as interim coach on July 4 in the wake of a six-game losing streak that cost first-year coach Chris Armas his job. The Spaniard has stopped the rot but now has to help his team turn ties into wins.
