, said the MLS in a press release published five minutes before the start of the meeting.
The inconclusive result came from a Toronto FC player, while the positive result was obtained from a DC United player. The two men concerned and their teams will undergo new screening tests.
This is the second time this match has been moved to the MLS revival tournament schedule.
The two clubs were originally scheduled to meet on Friday, but the match was postponed to Sunday due to the late arrival of Toronto FC at the event site due to additional testing.
Due to the time the clubs arrived in Orlando, the protocol for the league was to retest both teams this morning [dimanche, NDLR] and wait for the results of these tests before playing the match
, explains the MLS.
The Garber circuit will announce details of the resumption of this Group C meeting later today, which includes the Montreal Impact and the New England Revolution.
The Impact and Toronto FC are slated to add a new chapter to their big rivalry on July 15 in Orlando. Defeated immediately last Thursday, the Impact will complete the preliminary round on July 21 against DC United.
MLS has already had to exclude FC Dallas and Nashville SC from competition after numerous positive cases for COVID-19 have been registered in each of the teams. Twenty-four teams, now equally divided into six groups, are participating in the tournament in Florida, which will end on August 11.
