D.C. United will feel like they stole a point tonight, as Wayne Rooney’s stoppage time penalty gave them a 1-1 draw with Toronto FC. Former United favorite Nick DeLeon had given the Reds a first half lead, and United struggled badly to generate real chances, but a VAR-aided penalty kick decision allowed the home side to escape with a share of the spoils.
After both teams felt their way into the game, United were handed the game’s first chance. TFC goalkeeper Quentin Westberg had a chance to clear, but went looking for a shorter pass only to find his angles all cut off.
