Toronto FC rewrites record book as it heads towards Supporters Shield
TORONTO — With five regular-season games remaining, Toronto FC continues to rewrite the record book.
A win over the Montreal Impact (10-12-6) on Wednesday and Toronto (18-3-8) ties the Major League Soccer record of seven consecutive wins (Sporting Kansas City, 2012) in the post-shootout era.
The league record for most consecutive victories is 15, set by the Los Angeles Galaxy over the 1997, ’98 seasons in the shootout era. The Galaxy won eight straight games in both the ’96 and ’98 campaigns, without resorting to the shootout.
A victory Wednesday will also set a Toronto franchise mark for home wins (12) in a single season with two more matches remaining at BMO Field.
