Choupo-Moting equalizes in 98th minute, Red Bulls draw Toronto FC 1-1
TORONTO (AP) --- Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored an equalizer in the 98th
minute to recover a point for the New York Red Bulls in a 1-1 draw with Toronto
FC on Saturday in Toronto's home opener.
Toronto (2-1-1) broke through in the 43rd minute when Dniel Salli finished
from the center of the box after a pass from Djordje Mihailovic. Goalkeeper
Luka Gavran helped preserve the lead before halftime, turning aside several
early chances from the Red Bulls.
New York (2-1-1) controlled much of the match, holding 63.3% possession and
finishing with an 18-12 advantage in shots and an 11-5 edge in corner kicks.
Gavran kept Toronto in front throughout the second half with multiple saves as
the Red Bulls pressed for an equalizer.
Toronto nearly doubled the lead in stoppage time, but Ethan Horvath denied
Salli to keep New York within reach.
Moments later, the Red Bulls found their breakthrough. Choupo-Moting scored in
the eighth minute of added time to salvage the draw and extend New York's
unbeaten streak against Toronto to 14 matches (9 wins, 5 draws) dating back to
2019.
The match was the 45th all-time regular-season meeting between the clubs, with
New York holding a 24-10-11 advantage.
