MLS: Sapong helps Philadelphia salvage tie with Toronto FC

CHESTER, Pa. (AP) — C.J. Sapong tied it for Philadelphia two minutes after Toronto took the lead.

Sapong took a perfect feed from Fabian Herbers that left him one-on-one with goalkeeper Clint Irwin. Sapong tapped the ball around the closing Irwin and left-footed it into the empty net.

Toronto took a 2-1 lead in the 71st minute. Michael Bradley lofted a long free kick into the box, Justin Morrow chested it near the corner of the 6-yard box and finished from a difficult angle.

Philadelphia's Jay Simpson's and Toronto's Jozy Altidore scored in the first half.
