Match Recap: TFC 1, NYCFC 1

New York City FC extended their strong run of form with a 1-1 draw at Toronto FC on Wednesday evening, as Kwadwo Poku whipped a gorgeous curling finish past Clint Irwin to earn a share of the points at BMO Field.
Will Johnson tapped in from close range just before halftime to peg back the visitors and TFC dictated terms for most of the second half. But it wasn't enough to dislodge NYCFC's composed defense, and the Reds had to settle for a deadlock.

On the road in the midst of a busy week, NYCFC manager Patrick Vieira rang the changes in his starting 11 as Poku, Mehdi Ballouchy and Patrick Mullins were among several reserves handed important roles in a 4-3-3 shape. Meanwhile, Toronto got solid displays from the likes of Mo Babouli and Jay Chapman.
