Depleted Toronto FC, hit hard by suspension and injury, loses 2-0 at Nashville

In the wake of Saturday's ugly post-game melee with New York City FC, Toronto was without coach John Herdman and nine players. Adding to the degree of difficulty was the fact it was TFC's seventh match in 25 days in all competitions.

Moore's goal was his first in 50 career MLS appearances. Bunbury, meanwhile, became the fourth active player to reach 75 career regular-season goals. Toronto went into mid-week play in fourth place in the Eastern Conference after the weekend 3-2 loss to NYCFC that ended a five-game winning streak in all competitions. Nashville , which stood 13th in the East, was coming off a 1-0 defeat at Charlotte FC and had won just once in its previous seven outings .

TFC's starting 11 featured six changes from Saturday's lineup with wingback Raoul Petretta serving as skipper. Aime Mabika and Kosi Thompson made their first league starts of the season. Toronto had a half-chance in the 35th minute when Spicer headed Alonso Coello's cross in front of goal. But U.S. international defender Zimmerman did enough to block an onrushing Sigurd Rosted from getting to the ball.
