Toronto FC extended their winless streak to 12 games after a 1-1 draw against New York City FC at Yankee Stadium. NYCFC opened the scoring with a penalty kick in the ninth minute, converted by Nicolás Fernández, before Djordje Mihailovic equalized just before halftime in his first start since March. Key players for Toronto, including Mihailovic and Josh Sargent, are finally returning from injuries, but the team still struggles to secure victories. Despite creating chances, neither side could score in the second half, and Toronto FC's playoff hopes are dimming as the season progresses.

  • Nicolás Fernández's penalty was his 13th goal of the season, tying him for the MLS Golden Boot lead.
