TORONTO — Federico Higuain and Gyasi Zardes scored to help the Columbus Crew beat Toronto FC 2-0 on Saturday, spoiling the defending MLS champion Reds’ home opener. Zardes scored a minute into the second half, getting his foot on Pedro Santos’ through ball and putting it past Bono. Fontana opened the scoring in the 43rd minute with a quick-reacting, left-footed stab to finish Sapong’s redirection of Alejandro Bedoya’s low cross. Alberth Elis outraced a defender to chase down Philippe Senderos’ long ball and sent a low cross to Wenger. FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Real Salt Lake’s Marcelo Silva scored an own goal in the 86th minute and FC Dallas escaped with the draw.
