Toronto FC (3W-6L-7T, 16 points) recorded a second consecutive 0-0 draw in a midweek matchup against New England Revolution (8W-5L-2T, 26 points) at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday evening.

Toronto FC Head Coach Robin Fraser made five changes from last week’s starting eleven against CF Montréal with Richard Chukwu, captain Jonathan Osorio, Deandre Kerr, Emilio Aristizábal and Jules-Anthony Vilsaint coming in for Kobe Franklin, Zane Monlouis, Theo Corbeanu, Derrick Etienne Jr. and Josh Sargent. Eighteen-year-old Richard Chukwu, who signed a First Team contract from Toronto FC II last week, made both his Reds debut and first MLS start on Wednesday night.

The Eastern Conference sides traded chances throughout an entertaining first half, with Matt Turner denying Jackson Gilman at one end while Luka Gavran produced a pair of sharp saves to keep out Griffin Yow and Peyton Miller at the other.

New England came closest to breaking the deadlock just before half-time when Carles Gil’s long-range strike rattled the crossbar before Gavran was on hand to make an excellent outstretched stop on Gil’s follow-up effort in the 45^th minute.

Toronto threatened early following the restart, with Jules-Anthony Vilsaint grazing the post from distance in the 49^th minute before Dániel Sallói’s dangerous cross clipped New England defender Will Sands and deflected onto the woodwork ten minutes later.

Both clubs continued to push for a late winner, with substitute Josh Sargent going closest when his 76^th minute header narrowly missed the target. Despite chances at both ends, neither side could find the breakthrough on the night as Toronto and New England shared a point apience in a goalless draw from Gillette Stadium.

Up next, Toronto FC head to the American capital to face D.C. United on Saturday, July 25. Kick-off from Audi Field in Washington, D.C. is set for 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast globally in English and Spanish on Apple TV.
