Toronto football team welcome Charlotte to BMO Field in Big football tournament on Saturday (April 1).
Both teams are looking for their second win of the season. Toronto took their first full score on game day last Wednesday Lien Miami 2-0, after one loss and two draws. Charlotte did the same in their fourth game, beating Orlando City 2-1 after three consecutive losses.
The Reds are managed by one of the most admired coaches in the league. Bob Bradley joined the Canadian team last season, sparking optimism among fans hungry for a second MLS trophy after their 2017 win. However, Toronto ended disappointingly in 27th place out of 28 teams.

The Crown has made a number of lucrative signings during the season, including Enzo Copetti from Racing Club, Nuno Santos from Benfica and Ashley Westwood from Burnley. The club – founded three years ago – has played Toronto twice, losing 0-2 and 0-4.
