Toronto extends home unbeaten streak to 10 gamesToronto, ON (Sports Network) - Rookie goalie Brian Edwards made five saves for his second shutout as Toronto FC extended its home unbeaten streak to 10 games with a 0-0 draw against the Kansas City Wizards on Saturday. Edwards started in place of Canadian national team goalie Greg Sutton, who also has been impressive this season with four shutouts for Toronto. TFC leads Major League Soccer with six shutouts this season.
Toronto FC (6-4-3) is 5-0-3 at BMO Field - which was sold out again - this year
and its overall streak dates back to the final two games of last season. Kansas City (3-5-4) goalie Kevin Hartman made four saves for his fifth shutout of the season, but the Wizards winless stretched to seven matches. Toronto striker Danny Dichio was the only player to hit the back of the net all day but his chance in injury time was erased on offside. Kansas City lost Roger Espindoza to a red card for shoving Carl Robinson in the back of the head three minutes into stoppage time, but Toronto FC couldn't take advantage in the final seconds. Toronto visits the New England Revolution and Kansas City hosts Real Salt Lake on June 28.
