Whomever first uttered the old cliché “you win some, and you lose some” clearly wasn’t a soccer fan.
Toronto FC proved that last night when they advanced to the group stage of the CONCACAF Champions League by way of the biggest draw in team history. Up 1-0 on aggregate heading into the match, TFC knew that a draw with C.D. Motagua of Tegucigalpa would be enough to allow the Reds to move on. Even a loss would do the trick, provided that Toronto managed to score a goal along the way and keep within one of their Honduran hosts.

When all is said and done, Tuesday night will likely be among the toughest in Toronto FC’s season.
The Reds travel to Tegucigalpa, Honduras to take on host C.D. Motagua in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League preliminary round. TFC heads to the Honduran capital with a 1-0 advantage in the two-legged, total-goal series, and looks to endure 90 minutes at Estadio Nacional with at least the same goal differential intact.

There are wins, there are resounding wins, and then there are wins that should be resounding but aren’t. TFC’s 1-0 victory over Club Deportivo Motagua of Honduras falls squarely in the latter category.
The Reds were all over their opponents in yesterday’s preliminary round CONCACAF Champions League match, a stark contrast to the lackluster play that has plagued the team of late. Yet even though they were decidedly more inspired than in other recent games, Toronto once again lacked in the goal-scoring department, a lone Chad Barrett marker early in the match being the difference between the two teams.

Another two points dropped at home.
Toronto FC allowed FC Dallas to snatch a late draw on Saturday night, in a match that was all-too-reminiscent of those soul-shattering performances of 2009.
