Jordan Hamilton tied it in the 64th minute and Toronto FC held on for a 1-1 draw with the Columbus Crew on Wednesday night.
Columbus snapped a two-game losing streak but failed to get three points at home while facing a depleted Toronto FC.
Toronto FC was without star striker Sebastian Giovinco as the Italian was given the night off. Giovinco’s absence plus injuries to captain Michael Bradley, Jozy Altidore, Clint Irwin, Will Johnson, Daniel Lovitz and Ashtone Morgan meant Toronto had just five players on its bench.
