TORONTO — Toronto FC launched a club-record 35 shots in a scoreless tie against D.C. United on Wednesday night.
With star striker Jozy Altidore sidelined by a heel injury, Toronto (5-4-2) was unable to find the right final touch. It set an MLS record for most shots in a game without scoring.
D.C. goalkeeper Bill Hamid made a career-high 12 saves and posted his seventh shutout of the season.
Jordan Hamilton, subbing for Altidore, had nine shots and hit the crossbar. Spanish playmaker Alejandro Pozuelo had seven shots, 134 touches - the most by a D.C. player was 56 - and was credited with creating 11 chances.
D.C. United (7-3-3) defended tenaciously as Toronto finished with the third-largest shot total in MLS history — and the most seen in a league game since 1998.
