Opare helps DC United to 1-1 draw with Toronto FC

WASHINGTON — Kofi Opare scored his first goal of the season as D.C. United played MLS-leading Toronto FC to a 1-1 draw on Saturday night.

D.C. United (5-14-4) managed just four shots — one on target — and its own goal tied the match in the 52nd minute. United, which snapped a six-game losing streak, is winless since beating Atlanta 2-1 on June 21.

“Frustrating result and we’re at the point where it doesn’t matter whether it’s home or away — we feel like these are games that we should win, so there’s frustration for sure,” said Toronto FC midfielder Michael Bradley.

Opare made it 1-0 in the sixth minute, heading home a corner kick by Lloyd Sam for D.C. United’s first goal off a corner this season. It was Opare’s third career MLS goal and first since May 13, 2015.
