HOUSTON - Joe Bendik stopped four shots for Toronto FC and Tally Hall made three saves for the Houston Dynamo in the teams' scoreless tie Saturday night.
Houston (6-5-5) is winless in six games, while Toronto FC (2-7-6) extended its unbeaten streak to three games.
Toronto's best opportunity in the second half came in the 85th minute when Jeremy Brockie had a shot from about 25 yards out and Danny Koevermans had a chance on the rebound. Hall stopped both.
Houston's Will Bruin had a couple chances in first half, with a header in the 23rd minute from the middle of the box cleared out of bounds and a header in the 26th from the centre box sailing high. Bruin had a third header in the 43rd minute from the left box saved by Bendik.
