Late goal gives Toronto 2-2 tie with New England
TORONTO (AP) -- Danny Koevermans scored in the 83rd minute
Saturday to give Toronto FC a 2-2 tie with the New England
Revolution in the final MLS game of the season for both teams.
The Dutchman scored his eighth goal in 10 games this season.
Forward Nick Soolsma opened the scoring for Toronto (6-13-15),
which has given up a league-worst 59 goals.
Midfielder Monsef Zerka and forward Milton Caraglio scored for
New England (5-16-13).
Caraglio's goal came one minute into the second half and looked
to be enough for a New England win until Koevermans tapped in a
long ball from substitute Gianluca Zavarise.
Benny Feilhaber set up both goals for New England.
The teams are at the bottom of the standings in the Eastern
Conference. The Los Angeles Galaxy and Seattle Sounders were
ranked No. 1 and 2 in the league heading into weekend play.
Entering the game, Toronto had lost just once in its last six
MLS games and was 3-2-5 in its last 10.
New England had lost five straight and not won in league play
since Sept. 10 under coach Steve Nicol.
