I’ll admit, I thought Toronto was going to get slaughtered on Tuesday night.
With all the goings-on that have surrounded this club over the past couple of weeks, it seemed inevitable that TFC would get crushed by Cruz Azul in Mexico. Doubly so when considering the fact that The Reds handed the Mexico City giants an embarrassing 2-1 loss at BMO Field last month in the opening game of the CONCACAF Champions League group stage.

Well, that was ugly.
In what hopefully will be the most forgettable TFC performance of the season, Toronto held on for dear life to scratch out a 0-0 draw at Vancouver Whitecaps.
You could tell before kickoff that this one wasn’t going to be a classic. The pre-match weather forecast called for gale-force winds and possible thundershowers that threatened to postpone the match. Toronto’s starting line-up included names like Jon Conway, who had yet to play a single minute for TFC this year, along with recent dog house dweller Raivis Hscanovics. Julian de Guzman was out again, replaced by 18-year-old wrecking ball Amadou Sanyang. Even everyone’s new favourite Red Chad Barrett saw himself pinned to the bench to start the match, with a still-hobbled O’Brian White – who sat out Saturday’s match at LA with an ankle ailment – taking his place up top.
