The Canadian side took an early lead, with Matteo Mancosu getting a fortunate bounce before burying the ball into the net after five minutes.
Rooney curled a free-kick which beat goalkeeper Evan Bush but hit the post and United finally got an equaliser after 70 minutes through Yamil Asad.

The Seattle Sounders left it late in their 2-1 win over Minnesota United.

Nicolas Lodeiro fired the spot kick home and Will Bruin lobbed Bobby Shuttleworth in the seventh minute of stoppage time to seal an unlikely win.
