Theo Corbeanu's second-half goal lifts Toronto into a 1-1 draw with the Red Bulls
TORONTO (AP) — Theo Corbeanu's second-half goal lifted Toronto into a 1-1 draw with the New York Red Bulls on Wednesday night.
Toronto (3-10-5), which was playing for the first time since May 31, had lost four in a row at home.
New York (8-7-4) is 1-6-3 on the road this season.
Mohammed Sofo opened the scoring in the 20th minute with his ninth goal of the season. Lewis Morgan ran past the defense for a through ball and his breakaway shot was blocked by Sean Johnson, but Sofo was there for an easy rebound.
Morgan has eight goal contributions (five goals, three assists) in eight career MLS appearances against Toronto.
Corbeanu scored in the 51st — on Toronto's first shot on target — on a header past goalkeeper Carlos Coronel.
The Red Bulls were without suspended coach Sandro Schwarz, with assistant coach Volkan Bulut running the sideline. New York was also without suspended midfielder Peter Stroud.
Toronto is winless in the previous 12 regular-season meetings (0-9-3) with New York.

The Edmonton Oilers pick highly skilled center as first pick in 2025 NHL Draft
The Edmonton Oilers first pick in the 2025 NHL Draft did not arrive until the third round, eighty-third overall, when the club selected Tommy Lafreniere. The Oilers acquired this pick as compensation from the St. Louis Blues as a part of the Dylan Holloway offer sheet a year ago. Lefreniere is out of Kamloops of the WHL, and eighteen-year-old from St-Sauveur, Quebec. He stands 5'11 and weight in at 170 LB. A highly skilled player, he went 24-32-56 in 68 GP over the last season. That was second among WHL rookies. He was ranked #76 by McKeen's Hockey, #89 by FCHockey, and #86 by FLOHockey. One comparison made by a scout was 'a smaller Nick Suzuki'.

(AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes) LOS ANGELES (AP) — Simon Wang became the highest-drafted player born in China when the San Jose Sharks selected him with the first pick of the second round of the NHL draft on Saturday. Wang's family moved from Beijing to Toronto when he was 12. The 6-foot-5 defenseman surged forward in his development over the past year, showing more than enough potential to entice the Sharks with the 33rd overall selection. Advertisement 'It's an unreal moment for my family, for hockey in China,' Wang said. 'Just a really surreal moment, a dream-come-true moment. ... I hope I've inspired a lot of kids back home." His real name is Haoxi Wang, but he plans to go by Simon during his hockey career because 'it's simpler for North Americans,' he said. Wang is only the third Chinese-born player ever drafted by the NHL, but he knows he won't be the last. Kevin He was drafted 109th overall by the Winnipeg Jets last year, and Andong Song was chosen 172nd by the New York Islanders in 2015. 'Hopefully one day my record will get broken again,' Wang said. 'Someone will go in the first round, even top 10. I think there will definitely be someone that's going to make a huge impact on the game.' Advertisement Wang aspires to be an imposing two-way defenseman in the mold of Victor Hedman or Colton Parayko, but he had little draft buzz until the start of last season, when teams began to take notice of his rapidly developing skills. He soon joined the OHL's Oshawa Generals and got even more exposure during their playoff run. 'Seeing so many scouts in the Junior A barn, it just started hitting me,' Wang said. 'The summer before the season, I thought I was going undrafted, to be honest with you. But it happened for a reason, and I worked so hard for this. I deserve to be here.' Wang got into hockey as a child, but he didn't truly embrace the game until his family took a trip to Los Angeles eight years ago. The 10-year-old attended a Kings game right across the street from where he was drafted — although he fell asleep during the game, he recalls with a laugh. Wang then attended a Bruins-Flames game played in Beijing in 2018, and he soon decided to move to Canada to further his development. Advertisement Wang walked the red carpet in Los Angeles on Friday with his mother, who propelled his career — and even bought and moved his former junior team. He also got his first chance in nearly two years to see his brother, who studied at Boston University, where Wang might play college hockey starting in 2026 if next year in Oshawa goes well. The NHL is concluding its decentralized draft with the final six rounds at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. After minimal player movement Friday while Matthew Schaefer became the No. 1 overall pick, several significant trades were executed Saturday, with longtime Anaheim Ducks goalie John Gibson going to Detroit while defenseman Jordan Spence went from Los Angeles to Ottawa. ___ AP NHL:
