Kickoff for Toronto FC’s visit to D.C. United on Saturday has been pushed back 2 1/2 hours to 6:30 p.m. ET due to expected high temperatures and humidity.
But both teams have already been feeling the heat with Toronto (3-7-2) having lost five straight and D.C. (4-6-1) looking to find its feet after firing coach Hernan Losada six games into the season with just six points to show for it.
The forecast for Saturday at Audi Field calls for 36 Celsius, feeling like 38 degrees, at the original kickoff time, with the mercury dipping slightly to 34 degrees at 6 p.
