TORONTO -- The statistics are still bleak in terms of wins and goals, but credit Toronto FC with a gritty performance Saturday in a 0-0 tie with the New York Red Bulls. While hardly a masterpiece, sometimes you take what you can -- especially in yet another rebuilding season. Toronto (2-10-8) pressed in the second half and had the better chances against a team 18 points ahead of it in the standings. Over the final 45 minutes, the home side held an edge in attempts on goal (8-2) and shots on target (3-0). Despite having the best of an unremarkable first half, the Red Bulls (9-7-5) failed to impress in their garish blue-and-yellow uniforms. "Were slightly disappointed not to win the game, obviously," said Toronto captain Steven Caldwell, resplendent after the game in a suit, tie, suspenders and argyle socks. "We felt we were the better team. Without creating lots of great chances, we felt we had the one or two that we could have took and we kept their chances to a minimum. "They had a little flurry at the end but we held strong." Added Toronto manager Ryan Nelsen: "There was only one team in it, especially in that second half." As the score suggests, neither team offered much up front. New Yorks strike partnership of superstar Thierry Henry and Fabian Espindola, who have 11 goals between them, were quiet, with Henry cruising in and out of the game. Henry had New Yorks lone shot on goal, a low shot that Toronto goalkeeper Joe Bendik handled in the early going. The visitors were more in control in the first half, leading attempts on goal 6-2 and shots on target 1-0. New York coach Mike Petke did not like what he saw. "Not impressive, not impressive at all," he said. "Toronto had the right mentality, we didnt. "We play this game on paper we win this game. But this game is not played on paper, this game is played with heart, effort, logic and Toronto had all of those categories today, so in a way I feel fortunate we got a point." Torontos lack of offence continues to be worrying, however. The club has scored just 17 goals in 20 games. Toronto has not scored in five hours 36 minutes. With top strikers Danny Koevermans and Robert Earnshaw out injured, Toronto started Jeremy Brockie (one goal this season) and Justin Braun (two goals) up front. That did not bode well for the leagues 18th-worst offence. Toronto has been shut out in its last three road games, a goalless drought now at 319 minutes. And Toronto has been blanked in eight of its last 12 outings overall, with just seven goals to its credit during that run. "Its always a concern when youre not scoring but I cant fault (Brockie and Braun) because they worked so hard," Nelsen said. "They tried and they got in (scoring) positions." Plus the only striker on the bench was Andrew Wiedeman, a 23-year-old who has two MLS goals to his credit. In the second half, New York was able to introduce Democratic Republic of Congo striker Peguy Luyindula, a 34-year-old who scored 37 goals in 179 games for Frances Paris Saint-Germain. Toronto is expected to bring in attacking help during the current transfer window. Saturdays draw extends Torontos winless streak to six games. And home fans have not seen a league win at BMO Field since a 2-1 victory over Colorado on July 18, 2012. Since then, Torontos league record at its lakefront home is 0-13-10. Seven of the starters from that game are no longer with the franchise. Toronto did record a home victory earlier this season, over Sporting Kansas City, but it came indoors at Rogers Centre. Nelsen pointed to fatigue -- it was Torontos fifth game in three weeks -- and some curious refereeing decision Saturday. Brockie was brought down in New York penalty box in the 22nd minute but referee Jorge Gonzalez did not point to the penalty spot. Both teams had early goals called off for offside: first Brockies tap-in in the 13th minute and then Tim Cahills header. Torontos non-goal came courtesy of a nice raking cross from Ashtone Morgan. Toronto also had a slew of dead ball chances in the first half but failed to produce a quality delivery. The home side finally had a shot on target in the second half, but New York goalkeeper Luis Robles easily handled Bobby Conveys free kick. Torontos best chance came minutes later after Argentine midfielder Matias Laba, taking advantage of a Red Bulls turnover, dribbled into the New York penalty box. He twisted and turned, eventually finding Jonathan Osorio who could not get a shot off in traffic. Laba was influential for Toronto -- Nelsen called his second-half performance brilliant -- with Convey also a busy presence. Robles had to be sharp in the 74th minute, twisting in the air to claw the ball away after a deflected blast from Richard Eckersley. "It was a great save," Petke said. "He made a couple key saves, especially that one. The reaction save was great." New York is undefeated in its last nine games (6-0-3) against Toronto, dating back to June 24, 2009. Petke wanted more, however. "Going into a huge game next week at home (against Western Conference leader Real Salt Lake), coming off a 4-0 thrashing of Montreal firing on all cylinders, then to come here and play like this, I am honestly confused," he said. "I will throw a cliche out there -- it is back to the drawing board." Air Force 1 Just Do It Pas Cher .

BLOEMFONTEIN (First ODI, February 3)Capacity: 20,000Guide to the ground:Hosted its first one-day international in December 1992 when South Africa cruised to an eight-wicket victory over India. The Proteas have a strong record at the ground, and havent lost there for 14 years, although they have yet to better England in three meetings there. The ground boasts some of the best floodlights in the country and is regularly used for day/night matches, as it will be for Englands latest visit on Wednesday.Highest team ODI total: 351-6 (SOUTH AFRICA v Zimbabwe, Oct 2010)Lowest team ODI total: 90ao (KENYA v India, Oct 2001)Highest individual ODI total: 145no (Brendan Taylor, ZIMBABWE v South Africa, Oct 2010)Best bowling in an ODI innings: 5-42 (Lance Klusener, SOUTH AFRICA v India, Jan 1997)South Africa record: P21 W14 L6 T1Englands record: P3 W2 L0 T1 Kabir Ali celebrates after dismissing Andrew Hall to earn England a tie against South Africa at Bloemfontein Englands memories:Englands last game on the ground was way back in 2005, but what an epic encounter it was, with Kevin Pietersen scoring his first ODI century for England, back in his country of birth. Kabir Ali - remember him? - then earned the team a tie, picking up two wickets and a run out in the final over with South Africa needing only eight to win. England won their first two visits with Sky Sports Dominic Cork (3-44) and Michael Atherton (85) starring in 1996, and Nasser Hussain (85) and Nick Knight (71) in 2000.PORT ELIZABETH (Second ODI, February 6)Capacity: 19,000Guide to the ground:The grounds historic name is St Georges Park and has the nickname The Dragons Lair, based on the famous legend of St George. Despite that, memories of England being slain by the Aussies at the ground to be knocked out of the 2003 World Cup will loom large.Highest team ODI total: 335-6 (PAKISTAN v South Africa, Dec 2002)Lowest team ODI total: 112ao (NEW ZEALAND v Australia, Mar 2003)Highest individual ODI total: 135 (Saleem Elahi, PAKISTAN v South Africa, Dec 2002)Best bowling in an ODI innings: 7-20 (Andy Bichel, AUSTRALIA v England, Mar 2003) Andy Bichel celebrates as another England wicket tumbles in his 7-20 for Australia in Port Elizabeth South Africa record: P29 W18 L10 NR1Englands record: P5 W2 L3Englands memories:Before we mention that loss to Australia in the 2003 World Cup, its worth noting that one of Englands two wins at the ground came earlier in the tournament, albeit a hardly emphatic 55-run win over minnows Namibia. Andy Bichels record figures of 7-20 and a handy cameo with the bat - 34no off 36 balls - plus the standard Michael Bevan (74no) showing against England, saw them lose on their next visit, but on the 2009/10 tour of South Africa, Jimmy Anderson took ODI-best figures of 5-23 as England won convincingly by seven wickets.CENTURION (Third ODI, February 9)Capacity: 21,000Guide to the Ground:England wont relish returning to the scene of their heavy 280-run, fourth-Test defeat to South Africa, but spectators might, as the vast grass embankments which make up most of the stadium are ideal for cricket watching. Kagiso Rabada was the standout performer for SOuth Africa, taking 13 wickets, as England slumped to defeat at Centurion Highest team ODI total: 392-6 (SOUTH AFRICA v Pakistan, Feb 2007)Lowest team ODI total: 119ao (ZIMBABWE v South Africa, Nov 2009)Highest individual ODI total: 169no (Dave Callaghan, SOUTH AFRICA v New Zealand, Dec 1994)Best bowling in an ODI innings: 5-14 (Trent Johnston, IRELAND v Canada, Apr 2009)South Africa record: P33 W21 L11 NR1Englands record: P5 W2 L3Englands memories:England have beaten South Africa on their last two one-day visits to the ground, either side of a semi-final loss to Australia in the 2009 ICC Champions Trophy. A 22-run win over the Proteas earlier in the tournament helped them reach that stage, before centuries for Shane Watson and Ricky Ponting easily saw off their 258-run target to advance to the final. A mere matter of months later, Paul Collingwood tonked a ton of his own as England beat South Africa by seven wickets on their 2009/10 tour.JOHANNESBURG (Fourth ODI, February 12)Capacity: 34,000Guide to the Ground: Scene of Stuart Broads 6-17 that clinched England the Test series, so England - and Broad in particular, if he plays - will be happy to return to the lofty heights of The Wanderers.dddddddddddd The high-altitude stadium also hosted the 2003 World Cup final, and was the scene of the one of the most extraordinary one-day matches in history in 2006, when the hosts successfully chased Australias record total of 434-4. Then AB de Villiers record 31-ball hundred against the West Indies saw South Africa better both totals early last year. AB de Villiers celebrates his record-fastest ODI hundred for South Africa at The Wanderers in Johannesburg Highest team ODI total: 439-2 (SOUTH AFRICA v West Indies, Jan 2015)Lowest team ODI total: 109ao (PAKISTAN v South Africa, Jan 1995)Highest individual ODI total: 175 (Herschelle Gibbs, SOUTH AFRICA v Australia, Mar 2006)Best bowling in an ODI innings: 5-20 (Shaun Pollock, SOUTH AFRICA v England, Feb 2000)South Africa record: P29 W21 L8Englands record: P5 W2 L3Englands memories:England have not faced South Africa at the ground since their win over their hosts in 2005, as the planned meeting in 2009 was washed out without a ball being bowled, and only a 2009 Champions Trophy win over Sri Lanka, and defeat to New Zealand to their name since. Could this years rematch be another low scorer? As no team has scored more than 213 in any innings in the five England visits to the ground, with Shaun Pollocks 5-20 in South Africas win over the tourists in 2000 the best figures.CAPE TOWN (Fifth ODI, February 14)Capacity: 25,000 Watch Ben Stokes score the second fastest double century in history on day two of the second Test against South Africa in Cape Town. Guide to the Ground:Newlands, described by many as one of the most beautiful cricket grounds in the world, is nestled behind and at the foot of Table Mountain. It hasnt been very pretty for England of late though, yet to win a Test there since South Africas readmission, and with only one ODI win to their name. For South Africa meanwhile, the ground is somewhat of a fortress, only losing five from 30, although two of those defeats have come in their two most recent ODIs. Oh, and Ben Stokes certainly wont mind another bat on the same surface that saw him score a record-breaking 258 off 198 balls in the recent Test there.Highest team ODI total: 354-3 (SOUTH AFRICA v Kenya, Oct 2001)Lowest team ODI total: 43ao (PAKISTAN v West Indies, Feb 1993)Highest individual ODI total: 131no (Neil McKenzie, SOUTH AFRICA v Kenya, Oct 2001)Best bowling in an ODI innings: 6-19 (Henry Olonga, Zimbabwe v England, Jan 2000)South Africa record: P30 W25 L5Englands record: P6 W1 L5 James Anderson celebrates one of his four wickets in Englands 2003 World Cup win over Pakistan in Cape Town Englands memories:Englands record at the ground could be so much better were it not for a couple of agonising near-misses in their first two games. Chasing 212 to win in 1996, England collapsed from 155-3 to a six-run defeat, before suffering a one-run loss in 2000. Henry Olonga - yes, Henry Olonga - then took a record 6-19 on the ground in a tri-series win for Zimbabwe two days later. Herschelle Gibbs hit a hundred in a 2005 win, while AB de Villiers solitary ODI hundred against England saw them off in the last meeting. England have registered one win at the venue though - albeit not against South Africa - and what a win it was, with a young Jimmy Anderson announcing himself on the world stage with 4-29 to rip through Pakistan at the 2003 World Cup.Watch Englands five-match ODI series and two-match T20I series against South Africa live on Sky Sports 2.
