TORONTO -- A red card, combined with a possible case of mistaken identity, made for a disappointing 1-1 tie for Toronto FC. Nike Roshe Run NM BR Reflective Sails Army Blue Gamma Green Shoes . "Its a pity that we have given away the game," Toronto coach Aron Winter said. "Because we started very well." For the Columbus Crew, Saturdays MLS result was also a missed opportunity as the visitors could not manage more than one goal despite their numerical superiority for the last 48 minutes. "The red card was huge," said Columbus captain Chad Marshall. "Obviously it was nice playing a man up the second half. "The way we came out in the second half and tied the game up pretty quickly, I think were all disappointed that we didnt carry that on and get another one and get the three points. "But its a tough place to play so well take the point." Toronto outshot Columbus 4-3 in the first half (3-0 in shots on target) but the visitors led 9-2 (3-0 on target) in second-half shots. The Crew have never lost to Toronto, with a 5-0-7 record. The last five games between the two at BMO Field have ended in ties. The game, played before 20,145 on a sunny, windy day, turned around both sides of halftime. After dominating the first half, Toronto (1-2-4) went ahead in the 41st minute when Julian de Guzman sent a looping ball over a defender to Tony Tchani, who beat goalkeeper William Hesmer with a left-footed shot to the corner in the 41st minute. Tchani celebrated his first Toronto goal by jumping over the advertising boards to share the moment with the fans. As a result, he got a second yellow card -- he had been cautioned four minutes earlier after a melee at the Columbus bench -- and was ejected. Venezuelan striker Emilio Renteria evened the score on the other side of halftime, with a glancing header off a cross from the right flank in the 49th minute. And Columbus (2-1-3) began to take control. Tchani thought his first yellow was a case of mistaken identity. He said he was playing peacemaker after Columbus midfielder Kevin Burns was cautioned for a reckless tackle. "It wasnt me ... one of my teammates came from behind and just pushed the guy," he said. "I think the ref thought it was me." Winter agreed with Tchani on the first yellow. But he did not dispute the second. "It was not clever," he said of the exuberant celebration punished by referee David Gantar. But TFC players wondered about the consistency of officiating when it comes to goal celebrations and going to the stands, pointing to recent unpunished celebrations by Charlie Davis of D.C. United and Torontos own Alan Gordon. Tchani didnt think it rated a yellow. "Ive seen players do it before," he said. De Guzman understood Tchani getting caught up in the moment. But he also said his action was a gamble having already got a yellow. "Another lesson to take from this game is not to jump over the boards ever again," said de Guzman. For Columbus, the tie extended its current league unbeaten string to five games. The Tchani goal ended Columbus 414-minute shutout streak, which reached club record status one minute into the game. Columbus came into the contest riding a streak of four Hesmer shutouts, two of which were 0-0 ties. The goal also ended a 284-minute scoring drought for Toronto. "We showed a lot more passion than in our previous games," said de Guzman. "A lot of positives to take out of this game. "But at the end of the day, the result isnt something we were looking for. We were looking for three points." For Winter, it was a tie that felt like a loss. "Its not the first time," he said. English defender Richard Eckersley made his TFC debut, coming on as a substitute with 27 minutes remaining. He praised the atmosphere, saying the 20,000 fans "sounded like 50,000, to be honest."

"I dont think right now is the time or the place, for me, at least. I just took a pass. 2015 Womens Nike Roshe Run Flyknit Rose Purple White Running Shoes .

According to a copy of the police report, Smith was attempting to make a turn in Kansas Citys Power & Light entertainment district when he struck the light pole about 12:30 a.m. The officer reported that Smith "appeared confused and began mumbling statements that I did not understand." Smith declined medical attention. His vehicle sustained significant damage to the front and undercarriage, and the light pole was left broken on the sidewalk.
