Beyond the time-wasting and theatrics that infuriated the BMO Field crowd on Saturday, Toronto FC’s draw with the Colorado Rapids carried the extra sting of a missed opportunity.

Having ground out four points that easily could have been six through their most difficult three-game stretch of the season, the visit of the Rapids - who had not played for 18 days - on the back of a gruelling effort in New York City required Toronto to produce one last push before they could put their scheduling nightmare behind them.

The Rapids, with their 0-7-0 road record, did not appear to be particularly daunting opposition but Greg Vanney’s deepest team in MLS history finally looked jaded, disjointed and in need of the key players it was missing.
