Toronto FC, New York Red Bulls play to 0-0 draw
Toronto FC and the New York Red Bulls drew 0-0 Wednesday in what was essentially an MLS war of attrition with the two teams missing a combined 20-plus players due to injury, suspension or international duty.
Toronto’s injury crisis at centre back was exacerbated by the surprise omission of Mark-Anthony Kaye, a midfielder who spent time helping out the backline in the weekend 2-0 loss in Montreal because of the absence of the first-choice centre back pairing of Matt Hedges and Sigurd Rosted plus backup Shane O’Neill.Fullback Richie Laryea lined up beside Aime Mabika in the heart of the TFC defence.
The Red Bulls were coming off a 1-0 weekend win over visiting New York City FC, the second straight victory in all competitions under new coach Troy Lesesne. The former assistant was handed the head coaching job through the end of the season after the team parted ways with Gerhard Struber on May 8 in what the club said was a mutual decision.
Federico Bernardeschi had a glorious chance in the 29th minute, off a give-and-go with Insigne after a New York turnover, only to see his shot blocked by defender John Tolkin. Soon after, Toronto forward C.J. Sapong’s header off an Insigne corner was off-target. Coronel made a fine save to stop Insigne’s downward header in the 79th after a perfect cross from Bernardeschi found his compatriot at the far post.
