A late goal from Tosaint Ricketts salvaged a 2-2 draw for Toronto FC against the Montreal Impact but they remain at a disadvantage in the race for a first-round bye in the MLS playoffs. The Reds missed a golden opportunity to overtake New York City FC, who lost 3-1 to D.C. United, on Sunday and are one point behind Patrick Vieira’s team going into the final weekend of the regular season.
The tie at Stade Saputo leaves the Reds winless in their past five games, though they have only been beaten once. Montreal can no longer catch up with Toronto but neither can Greg Vanney’s men haul in the New York Red Bulls following their 3-2 win against the Columbus Crew.
