Toronto FC held on for a 1-1 draw at BMO Field after a dominant second-half performance from New York. The hosts went in ahead at the break, but the Red Bulls came out with real intent after halftime, outshooting Toronto 12 to 6 in terms of total attempts and earning 11 corners to just five. Justin Che was the standout performer for the visitors, turning in a man-of-the-match display that made life difficult for the Toronto attack whenever they tried to get forward. It was a frustrating evening for the home side, who controlled the early stages but couldn't build on their advantage. The Red Bulls pressure eventually paid off as they clawed their way back into the game, and both teams had to settle for a point. Toronto's defending held up when it mattered most, but they'll know they should have done more to kill off the contest when they had the chance.
The Matchup
Toronto FC and New York Red Bulls drew 1-1 at BMO Field, in a game that could easily have finished either way. Neither team could really take control of the ball for long, with Toronto FC holding 32% possession, close enough to an even split to explain why the game never settled into one side's favour. Both sides had spells on top without ever pulling clear, and the shot count on the day backs up just how tight things were. A draw is rarely the result either team sets out to get, but on this occasion it was a fair reflection of ninety minutes where chances were shared roughly evenly. Below is a closer look at exactly how the numbers from the match broke down.
