TORONTO(AP) -- Toronto FC and the Los Angeles Galaxy played a

scoreless draw Saturday night amid nearby G20 Summit protests

that prevented several thousand fans from attending the game at

BMO Field.

Subway shutdowns, altered bus routes and the uncertainty over

road closures contributed to the smaller-than-usual crowd. The

attendance was announced at 18,809, though it didn't reflect the

actual number of fans in the stands.

Los Angeles (10-1-3) is playing without stars Landon Donovan and

Edson Buddle, members of the U.S. team eliminated from the World

Cup earlier Saturday.

Toronto FC is 5-4-3.

The teams returned to play after a three-week break for the

World Cup.

"It was a typical game after three weeks of not playing,"

Toronto coach Predrag Padosavljevic said. "I don't think either

of the teams was very sharp. It was a tough fight. I thought if

anybody made a mistake, that was going to be how the game was

decided. But neither team really made any big mistakes."

Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment said it will offer absent

ticket holders the chance to attend another game this season.

"We made a decision to hold this game based on the security

information we were receiving and given the location of BMO

Field," MLSE executive vice president Bob Hunter said. "With the

Galaxy and officials all in the city, there was never any

thought given to canceling the game."
