"This is a group that did really well, and then you feel like you add Josh, and you've got other guys coming back from injuries that will only get stronger. Now to go home and have these games at home, we should feel good about what we've done, but also understand that we still have to work to do."
"Even the way they dug in at the very end is so important, because it's about establishing what our identity is going to be and what our character is going to be like as a group. I think for us to come through these three games, obviously the last one being the most positive one in almost every fashion, I think it just sets us up for this long homestand we have."
Toronto FC defeated FC Cincinnati 1-0 in their first win of the 2026 season, though new signing Josh Sargent was unavailable. Head coach Robin Fraser expressed confidence that the team will improve significantly with Sargent's integration and the return of injured players. After playing three away matches to start the season, Toronto begins a nine-game homestand at BMO Field against New York Red Bulls on Saturday. Fraser emphasized the importance of establishing team identity and character through their recent performance, noting the squad's hard work deserves reward. Meanwhile, New York Red Bulls suffered a 3-0 defeat to CF Montreal, dropping to fourth in the Eastern Conference.
