For the first time in their MLS history, Toronto FC have opened the season with a draw.
Nick Rimando saved a 0-0 tie for Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium by saving Sebastian Giovinco’s first-half penalty, which was low and well-struck but too close to the experienced goalkeeper.
Chances were few and far between for the hosts, but Joao Plata had a golden opportunity to win it in the 78th minute only to lift a shot over the crossbar after being played through by Kyle Beckerman.
