The home team's league performance has been nearly appalling, and temporary manager Terry Dunfield has had trouble restoring order. Toronto's most recent match ended in a 2-0 loss against Columbus Crew. With 19 points from 26 games, they have the fewest points in the Eastern Conference.
Philadelphia, meanwhile, had a successful weekend in league play after taking third in the just finished Leagues Cup. In their most recent match, they defeated Wayne Rooney's DC United 3-1, scoring all three goals in the opening period.
