Toronto FC and host New England Revolution exchanged second-half goals and played to a 1-1 draw on Saturday night.
Theo Corbeanu got Toronto on the scoreboard in the 75th minute, taking a Djordje Mihailovic pass and putting his right-footed shot past a diving Matt Turner for his sixth goal of the season. Mihailovic’s assist is his third in five games with the Reds.
Luca Langoni responded in the 90th minute as his shot deflected off TFC defender Sigurd Rosted and past keeper Luka Gavran.
