Missing were the locker room area and tunnel fireworks as was the loss for NY and they bested TFC, 2-1, behind a brace from TInari as Ben Mines contiuned to impress with an assist and Valot who will surely get a lot of time with the first team had the other assist. It was a bit like Atlantic City as Harrisson had many cards dealt, 4 to the visitors and 2 to the home team. NY showed some early season grit overcoming a 1-0 defecit. This was the first time NYRB won its season opener in their 4 year history. Just 11 minutes in Matthew Srbely got in behind the defense to put one home.
