After losing at home for the first time this season on Friday, Toronto FC II will be looking to bounce back this afternoon.
The Young Reds are back at home today for a 4 pm kickoff against Forward Madison FC.
The two sides have met twice this season. In the first meeting between them, on May 4th, Forward Madison won 3-1 in Wisconsin. In the return fixture on June 28, the two sides played out a 1-1 draw at the BMO Training Ground.
Here are highlights of Toronto FC II's game on Friday:

Toronto FC midfielder Noble Okello, who has spent most of the season with TFC II, played in the MLS Homegrown Game on Tuesday night as a part of the MLS All-Star festivities.
He scored a late goal to send the match to extra time, and came out with MVP honours.
Whenever Noble Okello plays against players his own age he looks incredibly dominant. MLS Homegrown Game was no different. Scores a late equalizer to send the game to penalties. pic.twitter.com/Q3lG6wfnge

#TFCLive's Noble Okello wins the #MLSHomegrown MVP. Was a bit of a launching point for Liam Fraser back in the day, might it be one for Noble too?

WTR's Mitchell Tierney also had high praise for FC Dallas's Thomas Roberts, who has spent time this season with USL League One's North Texas SC.
Another thought from the match: Thomas Roberts from #FCDallas is one to watch. Really, really good on the ball and created a lot of chances for #MLSHomegrown.
