United Coach Tom Soehn said it was a game that the team did not feel good about walking away from.
“If we had lost today, it would be just miserable because we put too much effort into it,†said rookie goalkeeper Milos Kocic, who took responsibility for Toronto's first goal. "Every time we are losing, we keep fighting. It's just another example of the great team -- never stop playing, never give up, keep playing, keep playing."
