Mihailovic Shines as Toronto FC Tops Orlando
In their final match of the season, Toronto FC ended their campaign on a high note, defeating Orlando City 4-2 in a high-scoring affair. Canadian midfielder Djordje Mihailovic was the star of the show, scoring two goals to lead his team to victory.
Despite a disappointing 6-14-14 season that saw Toronto finish 12th in the Eastern Conference, Saturday's performance provided a glimmer of hope for the future. The team ended an 11-game winless run in style, showcasing the attacking talent that could propel them to greater success next year.
Shutout Eludes Undermanned Whitecaps
Elsewhere, the Vancouver Whitecaps fell 2-1 to FC Dallas in their regular-season finale, unable to hold onto a lead after going a man down. Despite the defeat, interim head coach Martin Müller remained upbeat about his team's display, praising their resilience in the face of adversity.
"Normally, I'm not used to playing these kind of games where if you are one man down, you still get your opponent in so many situations suffering," Müller said. "It's not a bad day for us. I think it showed still how good we are. And we can build on that more than we should take it as a setback."
