TORONTO — Columbus’ William Hesmer became only the second goalkeeper to score a goal in MLS history when he tied the game in the second minute of second-half stoppage time to help the Crew to a 2-2 tie with Toronto FC on Saturday.
The goal came off a scramble after a Columbus corner kick hit a defender and bounced down. Hesmer settled it with a touch and scored on a right-footed shot from 7 yards.
“I’ve seen in happen before back in England but I’m speechless,” Toronto FC interim head coach Nick Dasovic said.
Columbus brought Hesmer up to the Toronto FC penalty area in an all-out effort to gain a point.
“I’ve never gone into the box before, it’s my first time ever,” said Hesmer, who beat his counterpart Milos Kocic.
Maicon Santos scored the other goal for Toronto. Chad Marshall gave Columbus a 1-0 lead in the 15th minute.
