ORLANDO - After briefly wading into the realm of consistency during its pre-season slate in central Florida, Toronto FC’s defensive third folded in familiar fashion on Saturday in a 3-0 exhibition loss to the Philadelphia Union.
First-half goals from Philly’s Antoine Hoppenot and Roger Torres shattered a pre-season shutout streak the Reds had extended to 150 minutes following a 3-0 win over Orlando City here Wednesday.
