A challenging game for Toronto FC II

Toronto FC II started the match against Atlanta United II with an early lead. However, a red card in the 26th minute gave Atlanta United an advantage, allowing them to come back and win 2-1.

Servania entered the game in the 70th minute and showed a strong performance. He completed 91% of his passes, making 21 out of 23, created two clear scoring opportunities that unfortunately were not converted, and was perfect in his dribbling and defensive efforts. He achieved 100% success in dribbling and made two recoveries with a 75% success rate in ground duels, winning 3 out of 4.

Servania’s return was a positive change for the team and represents a valuable asset for John Herdman’s future plans. In his first 20 minutes back on the field after 326 days, he demonstrated his continued progress and that his talent remains intact despite nearly a year without competitive play.

It is hoped that Servania will continue to advance positively as Toronto FC faces a challenging end to the season. John Herdman is looking to have his squad fully prepared and in peak physical condition for the MLS playoffs and the Canadian Championship final.
