TFC issued permanent bans to four supporters after fights broke out in the stands during a 2-1 loss to Montreal.

Following the final whistle, Toronto midfielder Mark-Anthony Kaye had to be restrained on the field from going after some abusive TFC fans in the south stand.

Video posted on social media showed a fan throwing a megaphone on the field in Kaye’s direction.

CF Montreal responded by banning visiting Toronto fans from a May 13 MLS rematch at Saputo Stadium, closing the visiting supporters’ section.

Montreal won the second game 2-0.
