"The Herons went close on two occasions in the opening 30 minutes, but Johnson first turned away a curling effort from Baltasar Rodriguez before repelling Lionel Messi's strike from the edge of the box. Luis Suarez was the next to see an effort stopped by Johnson, but the 26-year-old goalkeeper could do nothing when Allende timed his run perfectly to get on the end of a pinpoint cross from Jordi Alba."
"However, Toronto found a leveller on the hour-mark after a quick start to the second period. Rodriguez failed to clear the ball away for Miami, allowing Richie Laryea to get to the byline and find Mihailovic with a well-placed cutback. The game slowly opened up as the minutes ticked by, with Messi failing to beat Johnson with two further attempts while Toronto's counter-attacks looked threatening, but both sides had to settle for just a point."
