TORONTO -- Lodged in the middle of an arduous week, D.C. United’s match here Wednesday figured to show Ben Olsen’s squad at its most vulnerable. Olsen would need to make lineup changes, resting regulars after a rugged test at home Sunday night and a visit to hot Houston coming Saturday.
He did not tinker; he overhauled. With most of his usual starters in reserve, a supporting cast endured a 90-minute mugging by Toronto FC before escaping with a 0-0 draw before an announced 26,116 at BMO Field.
United (7-3-3) teetered all night and rarely crossed midfield with substantial possession.
