The result keeps the club’s Supporters’ Shield chase on track with four league matches remaining.

Overview

  • Tadeo Allende headed in Jordi Alba’s cross from a Lionel Messi pass in first-half stoppage time before Djordje Mihailovic leveled in the 60th minute.
  • Toronto goalkeeper Sean Johnson made several key saves on Messi, including from a dangerous free kick, to secure the draw.
  • Miami clinched a playoff berth earlier in the week with a 4-0 win over New York City FC in which Messi scored twice and added an assist.
  • Messi leads MLS with 24 goals and 37 total goal contributions and sits one brace away from setting the single-season record for multi-goal games.
  • Sergio Busquets has announced he will retire at season’s end, and multiple reports indicate Messi has agreed to a two-year extension through 2027.
