SAINT PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Kervin Arriaga scored late in the second half to thwart Sean Johnson’s bid for his 100th career clean sheet, rallying Minnesota United to a 1-1 draw with Toronto FC on Saturday night.

Minnesota United wrapped up the victory when Bongokuhle Hlongwane put a shot in the net in the 74th minute and Reynoso followed three minutes later with his third goal of the season. Hlongwane’s fifth netter this season came with an assist from Zarek Valentin. Hlongwane had an assist on Reynoso’s goal.

Clint Irwin saved two shots in his third start this season for Minnesota United. Aljaz Ivacic had seven saves for Portland.

Minnesota United improves to 6-0-1 all-time at home against the Timbers. There have been 30 goals scored in the seven matches. Minnesota United swept the season series after a 1-0 victory in Portland earlier this season.

The Timbers fall to 1-4-4 in their last nine matches with five goals scored. Boli and Evander have scored Portland’s last eight goals. No other Portland player has scored since May 6.

Portland travels to play the Colorado Rapids on Tuesday. Minnesota United will host Austin FC on Saturday.
