TORONTO—Toronto FC made history by becoming the first Canadian team to win MLS Cup and the first to win three trophies in a single season at BMO Field on Dec. 9. TFC spent big, played big, and won big.

The Reds’ journey to glory has been a long and difficult one—they didn’t make the playoffs in their first eight years as an MLS franchise. And last year when hosting MLS Cup, TFC lost a heart-breaker on penalties to Seattle.
