BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. Marek Mazanec Predators Jersey . -- Being down a man while also missing two stars didnt seem to faze Toronto FC on Wednesday. Toronto (6-4-3, 21 points) ran its unbeaten streak to six as it resisted late Chicago pressure to earn a 1-1 tie at soggy Toyota Park. Midfielder Jackson scored Torontos lone goal in the 42nd minute, heading a feed from forward Jermain Defoe past Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson. "Any point on the road is a good point, especially when youre down to 10 men," said Toronto coach Ryan Nelsen, whose team remains unbeaten (3-0-3) in league play since a May 3 loss to New England. "They (the Fire) did very well in the second half and pushed us hard. We had to defend and we defended very well." Forward Luke Moore was issued a red card and ejected in the 29th minute after a mid-air collision with Fire midfielder Chris Ritter and Toronto played the final hour with 10 men. Toronto FC was also outshot 20-7 and trailed in possession by a lopsided 62-38 per cent. Yet Chicago mustered only one score - Harry Shipps sixth goal of the season in the 56th minute. "We did enough to win the game, when its 10 men against 11 we should win the game," said Fire coach Frank Yallop, whose team is winless in five games. "We had our chances, its frustrating. We had them. Thats our problem right now, we cant seem to win a game." Numerous other Chicago shots went wide, fell short or were stopped by Toronto goalkeeper Joe Bendik, who had five saves. In the 73rd minute an apparent go-ahead goal by Fire defender Bakary Soumare was waved off on an offside call. Toronto was playing its second game in five days while Chicago was among the last Major League Soccer teams to restart the season after a lengthy World Cup break. "This point is very valuable," Nelsen said. "It proves that away from home weve been down to 10 men twice and weve managed to get something out of the game and that was extremely important." Moores ejection came after a midfield battle for possession with Ritter. Moore appeared to elbow Ritter in the right temple. Ritter temporarily left the game but was back within three minutes with his his head bandaged. The ejection includes an automatic suspension for Saturdays home game with D.C. United. Toronto was missing goalkeeper Julio Cesar, who helped carry host Brazil into the World Cups final eight, as well as recent midfielder acquisition Michael Bradley, expected back soon from a U.S. team stint. Wednesdays game was played under steady drizzle and unusually cool temperatures.

In the calls, Hernandez discussed the murder of Odin Lloyd, including his "belief about his criminal liability" and the "extent of his control over persons charged as accessories," according to the request filed Thursday in Fall River Superior Court.Danny Gabbidon says the Wales starting XI for Euro 2016 picks itself, as long as the whole squad remains injury free. Since Chris Colemans side completed their qualifying fixtures last autumn, they have played four friendly matches, three of which have ended in defeat, with one draw.Their most recent defeat was a 3-0 hammering by Sweden on Sunday, with the Stockholm result inflicting on Coleman his heaviest loss since September 2013. Now Wales are set to play their first Group B match at Euro 2016 - against Slovakia in Bordeaux on Saturday - and there has been much debate about what the starting line-up will look like.And speaking on Euro 2016 Verdict, Gabbidon, a former Wales international with 49 caps, picked the team he feels the Wales manager will select in France.  Former Wales international Gabbidon made 49 caps from between 2002 and 2014 The team mainly picks itself, he told Sky Sports News HQ. This team is what Chris Coleman [mostly] went with in qualifying, and if everyones fit, hell try and get that team out onto the pitch.Forward Hal Robson-Kanu, a regular fixture in Wales Europpean qualifying campaign, has an ankle injury which raises questions over his fitness. Ryan Ellis Jersey. The 27-year-old has claimed he will be fit for the opener, but Gabbidon believes Crystal Palace midfielder Jonny Williams would provide adequate cover, as a lack of game-time might be an issue for Robson-Kanu.Robson-Kanu for me hasnt played too much this season, he said. Hes struggling with a little knock at the minute so he might not be ready.Jonny Williams is another option there. He played at the weekend against Sweden, and did very well in the first half, so thats someone who could go into the first team. Gabbidon also believes there is plenty of depth in the centre-back positions to help complete Colemans conventional five-man defence.James Chester has been fantastic in qualifying so its between him and James Collins, who plays on the right-hand side of the centre-backs, he said.But both players have had fantastic seasons, so I dont really mind too much who plays there.But that will be the team, if Chris Coleman can get everyone fit, for the first game against Slovakia.  Also See: Ramsey: Time to focus on Euros Euro 2016 build-up LIVE!
