•Toronto is coming off its heaviest defeat of the season last Saturday night

•The defeat returned TFC II to the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, as it now
sits with a -16 goal differential this season to sit below the Richmond Kickers.
•Sergio Camargo became the sixth different player to score for TFC II this season against
the Battery, but no-one has more than one tally among the squad.
