April 23, 2011 MLS--Ten Man Reds in Controversial Draw (from MLSsoccer.com)
10-Man Reds In Controversial Draw Tchani sent off after scoring his first goal in 1-1 final Saturday. Nick Firchau MLSsoccer.com April 23, 2011 Crew rally for Trillium draw after Tchani sent off Tony Tchani scored what he was hoping would be a historic goal for Toronto FC, he just didn't quite get to stick around long enough to see how it all turned out. The TFC midfielder was shown his second yellow card for unsporting behavior and sent off after his first-half goal, and the Columbus Crew were able to rally against the 10-man hosts for a 1-1 draw on Saturday at BMO Field. The result kept TFC (1-2-4) winless in 12 matches all-time in the Trillium Cup, and helped the Crew (2-1-3) remain unbeaten in their last five games overall since losing the season opener. Emilio Renteria scored his first goal of the season on a nifty back-post header from a Sebastian Miranda cross in the 48th minute for the Crew. Columbus are now 5-0-7 in this rivalry all-time and locked down defensively when it counted Saturday, despite watching their four-game shutout streak come to an end in the 42nd minute. stats from MLS.com Scoring Summary: TOR -- Tony Tchani 1 (Julian de Guzman 1, Alan Gordon 1) 41 CLB -- Emilio Renteria 1 (Sebastian Miranda 1) 49 Misconduct Summary: CLB -- Kevin Burns (caution; Reckless Tackle) 36 TOR -- Tony Tchani (caution; Unsporting Behavior) 37 CLB -- Emmanuel Ekpo (caution; Dissent) 39 TOR -- Tony Tchani (caution; Unsporting Behavior) 42 TOR -- Tony Tchani (ejection; Second Caution) 42 CLB -- Julius James (caution; Reckless Foul) 80 CLB -- Dejan Rusmir (caution; Fails to Respect Distance) 90 Comparison TORONTO FC COLUMBUS Shots 7 16 Shots on Goal 3 3 Saves 2 2 Fouls 16 13 Offsides 1 1 Cornerkicks 4 5 Lineups: Columbus Crew -- William Hesmer, Rich Balchan, Julius James, Chad Marshall, Sebastian Miranda, Robbie Rogers, Emmanuel Ekpo (Tommy Heinemann 46), Kevin Burns (Dejan Rusmir 63), Dilly Duka, Emilio Renteria (Andres Mendoza 74), Eddie Gaven Substitutes Not Used: Jeff Cunningham, Andy Iro, Korey Veeder, Andy Gruenebaum.
