Home sweet home for Toronto FC

With a record of two wins, one draw and two losses in the last five home openers, Toronto FC looked to please a warm crowd on a cool March evening.

The site that christened Alejandro Pozuelo last season, who delighted fans by chipping the Revolution's goalkeeper twice that game, was pleased once again by a late winner by Ife Achara.

Vanney opted for a 4-4-2 formation with Westberg in goal, Auro and Morrow at fullback, Gonzalez and Mavinga as centrebacks, Achara and Gallardo on the wings, Osorio and Delgado in centre midfield. In attack, and no other option than the big guns Pozuelo and Altidore.

New York City FC lined up with a 4-1-4-1 that saw Johnson in goal, Tinnerholm and Matarrita at fullback, Callens and Sands in centre back, Ring sitting on top of the defence with Mitrita and Medina on the wings, Moralez and Parks in centre mid and Heber up top as the sole forward.
