New England and Toronto Play to Scoreless Draw as MLS Resumes

Strong saves kept both teams scoreless, leaving Toronto outside the playoff line.

Overview

  • The Revolution and Toronto played to a 0-0 draw at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday as Major League Soccer returned from its World Cup pause.
  • New England’s Matt Turner recorded his fourth clean sheet of the season while Toronto keeper Luka Gavran made several key saves to preserve a shutout.
  • High-quality chances went begging, including Carles Gil striking the crossbar and Josh Sargent heading a corner narrowly wide, which decided the match in favor of the goalkeepers.
  • The result left New England fourth in the Eastern Conference at 8-5-2 (26 points) and kept Toronto at 3-6-7 (16 points), extending Toronto’s winless run and keeping them outside the playoff cut.
  • The game underscored post–World Cup challenges: New England adjusted to bouncy turf at Gillette and Toronto must manage returning internationals and fixture congestion as it chases its first post-break goal and win.
