Toronto FC battle to draw with NY
Reds lead early, but settle for one point
TORONTO — Toronto FC and New York Red Bulls exchanged set-piece goals in a 1-1 draw on Thursday night at a rainy BMO Field.
Marco Velez’s first career MLS goal off of a Laurent Robert direct free kick gave Toronto an early lead after 22 minutes, but New York’s Dave van den Bergh came back with a direct free kick of his own in the 39th to deadlock the score.
The result does little to ease the congestion in the competitive MLS Eastern Conference. Toronto is now one of four clubs tied for second place at 10 points apiece, though TFC is still placed fifth based on goal differential. The Red Bulls, meanwhile, are sixth in the conference table with eight points — a total that would currently tie them for first with FC Dallas in the Western Conference.
