A high spirited match by Toronto FC resulted in a bitterly disappointing 2-1 loss to NYRB, as Juan Pablo Angel took advantage of some questionable officiating to score twice in three minutes to steal 3 points for the New York side.
Toronto FC carried a 1-0 lead into half-time on Cunningham's first TFC goal, but saw the score equalized after a questionable foul called on a solid Boyens tackle resulted in Angel netting one off a well placed free kick that fooled TFC Keeper Djekanovic. A few minutes later, a TFC rush was snuffed out by another questionable call, the ball was sent quickly the other way, and a cross was deflected by a TFC defender right to Angel, who put home his second for the game winner. As the Columbian star ran to the sidelines to take in the atmosphere, he was greeted by a shower of beer from the BMO Field faithful, but it was all taken in stride by the NYRB striker, who said after the match with regards to MLS, "I must say that this is probably the best ground I've played in so far. The atmosphere was terrific and that's what these people are about, that's what we're going to see in this league."
Terrific atmosphere, terrible officiating. Welcome to BMO Field.
