Columbus Crew SC dominated Toronto FC for most of the 90 minutes at MAPFRE Stadium on Wednesday, taking 10 shots (six on target), connecting 579 passes at a 86 percent accuracy rate and owning more than 66 percent of possession (and near 70 possession in the first half). 

And it got them exactly one point. 

Over more than an hour of one-sided play, Crew SC routinely charged into the attacking third only to fritter away their buildup play with poor crossing and misfiring finishes. That opened the door for a plucky response from a young, outnumbered and outgunned TFC side, earning an impressive road draw via a well-crafted goal by Homegrown striker Jordan Hamilton, canceling out Harrison Afful's opener and deepening the gloom around struggling Crew SC.

TFC dressed just 16 players for this midweek hopscotch over the Great Lakes, leaving Sebastian Giovinco at home to rest ahead of their trip to San Jose this weekend, and the skeleton crew got even smaller when Marky Delgado limped off and did not return at the halfway point.

But the insertion of Tsubasa Endoh and Jay Chapman turned the tide, drawing Toronto level and leaving Columbus hanging on for dear life at the end after such a bright start. Depending on the evening's result in Chicago, they may well find themselves in last place in the Eastern Conference by week's end.
