Welcome to your match thread for a Saturday night match-up between Orlando City (2-0-3, 9 points) and Toronto FC (1-2-2, 5 points) at Exploria Stadium (7 p.m., FOX 35 Plus). It’s the first of three scheduled meetings between the Eastern Conference rivals this season, with the teams meeting again on June 19 and July 17. Both of those upcoming matches are considered “away,” but for now they’re tentatively going to be at Exploria Stadium because COVID-19 international restrictions have Toronto staying in Central Florida for now.
