Toronto FC's Saturday night loss to New York City FC ended in chaos as a massive altercation broke out between the two teams. Toronto head coach John Herdman and several players were suspended for Wednesday's games as a result. The brawl started shortly after NYCFC picked up a 3-2 win at BMO Field in Toronto. Toronto goalkeeper Sean Johnson was right in the middle of the scrum, going at Strahinja Tanasijević multiple times. Herdman bumped into NYCFC head coach Nick Cushing during the exchange, though they were separated. Herdman alleged that Cushing had punched one of his 19-year-old players at their last match in New York. Cushing strongly denied the allegations. Toronto captain Jonathan Osorio said it was the previous game's hostilities and the punch allegations that led to Saturday's incident boiling over. As a result, Herdman, Richie Laryea, and Johnson were all suspended for Wednesday's game against Nashville SC. Toronto forward Prince Owusu was also hit with a red card for his involvement. Andrés Perea scored a goal in the 77th minute to push NYCFC to the 3-2 win on Saturday. Matt Freese made nine saves for NYCFC, ending Toronto’s three-game win streak. The heated rivalry between the two clubs seems far from over. The suspensions will be a significant blow to Toronto FC as they look to bounce back from the loss. The team will have to regroup and refocus for their upcoming game against Nashville SC. The incident has sparked a lot of debate and discussion among fans and pundits alike. The MLS will be keeping a close eye on the situation and taking necessary actions to prevent such incidents in the future. The rivalry between Toronto FC and NYCFC is one of the most intense in the league, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out in the coming games.
