Toronto 1 - UNAM Pumas 1
Yellow cards caught up with Toronto for their home date against Pumas, forcing lineup changes that should've given the visitors a clear advantage. Instead, it was Toronto going up a goal through Peri Marosevic in the 35th minute and holding on for the point after Marco Palacios equalized in the 51st.
"They are working with a bigger budget and a bigger roster," Toronto coach Aron Winter said of Pumas. "They are not re-building like we are. Also we have had a short recovery period following the Chivas game, but if you have a bigger roster it’s easy and they have more quality than us, they are the champions of Mexico and that says a lot in that league.”
