The MLS Eastern Conference standings will show that D.C. United gained a point from its 2-2 draw with Toronto FC on Saturday at sweltering Audi Field. By any other measure, though, the match felt like a crushing defeat.
From squandering two leads to missing opportunities and ultimately conceding Jonathan Osorio’s 89th-minute equalizer, United bungled a golden chance to secure three points against a free-falling foe.
“Massive disappointment,” captain Steven Birnbaum said. “We’re dropping points at home. It should’ve been a win, no doubt about it. We didn’t see the game out. It’s a blow, that’s for sure.
