MLS week nine began on Wednesday with three mid-week matches. All three finished 1-1; some teams were pleased with the result and some weren't.
First, Dominic Oduro and the Montreal Impact rescued a point from New York City FC at Yankee Stadium with a 91st-minute header goal from the winger, meaning NYCFC only have seven points despite playing six of their eight matches at home. The Portland Timbers then drew with the New England Revolution thanks to a late own goal for the Revs, with Timbers center-back Jermaine Taylor seeing it deflect off him and skip past Jake Gleeson in the 89th-minute.
