Toronto FC beat D.C. United, 2-1, in Toronto on May 19, ending a four-match winless run in the matchup (D2 L2). Toronto has recorded multiple wins over D.C. in a single season just twice in club history, winning two of three encounters in the 2013 (D1) and 2016 seasons (L1).
D.C. United lost, 2-0, to New York City FC on Wednesday, the club’s sixth loss in the last nine matches (W2 D1). It was the seventh time in those nine games that D.C. has allowed multiple goals.
Toronto FC has lost five straight matches, equaling the fourth-longest losing streak in the club’s MLS history. Toronto has recorded three losing streaks of five or more games in the last 12 months after doing so just twice in the club’s first 14 seasons in existence.
Ola Kamara has scored six career goals against Toronto FC, one of four teams he’s found the net a career-best six times against (MTL, NE, RSL). Four of those six goals have come in the five matches he’s played against the Reds with D.C. United.
Toronto has not kept a clean sheet in its last 20 MLS matches, one shy of the club record of 21 set immediately before this run. In all, the Reds have managed one clean sheet in their last 42 MLS matches dating back to last May.
