We had hoped the 1-1 stinker against the Colorado Rapids would be the last game of its type we had to witness this season, but just two weeks later Toronto FC served up another frustrating draw against struggling opposition.
This time the disappointment was mitigated by the fact it came on the road - and an away point can never be completely disregarded - but exacerbated by last-place D.C. United playing the entire second half with 10 men following Lloyd Sam’s sending off before the break.
That the two ties have come either side of a 4-0 mauling of New York City FC, one of the Reds’ main rivals for the Supporters’ Shield, makes for bewildering reading on paper.
