Toronto FC came from a goal down to grab a 3-3 draw against Austin FC at BMO Field in a pulsating match that had the home crowd on their feet. The hosts were second best in the first half and trailed at the break, but they dominated the second period with 18 shots across the game, 11 of them on target. Austin's Brad Stuver was the difference-maker between the sticks, producing a commanding display that earned him the man-of-the-match award with an 8.9 rating as he repelled wave after wave of Toronto attacks. It was a frustrating afternoon for the home side, who had far more of the ball but couldn't find a way past Stuver when it mattered. Austin soaked up the pressure and hit back with dangerous moments of their own, making for an entertaining spectacle that neither side could quite finish. The draw leaves both teams with something to build on, though Toronto will feel they should have won it given how much they saw of the ball.
