No one ever said it was going to be easy.
Toronto FC’s New Era got off to a rocky start, with the side losing 4-1 at Real Salt Lake in a match that puts serious doubt in TFC’s Champions League hopes.
The scoreline was somehow flattering to both the visitors and the hosts, as the game took on a number of vastly different forms over the 90 minutes.

Opportunity lost.
TFC really needs to figure out how to play on the road in MLS. For 15 or so minutes in the first half, it seemed as though the mojo that Toronto had recently found (in Honduras) would continue to be on display at beautiful brand new Red Bull Arena.
The Reds were looking the livelier of the two teams. Toronto was passing with purpose, making smart runs, and keeping the ball away from New York’s double-headed monster in the form of Juan Pablo Angel and Thierry Henry.

Now that’s more like it.
Terrible conditions, a listless opponent, and Chad Barrett’s awakening combined to give Toronto FC its biggest victory since the historic “Miracle in Montreal” back in June, 2009.
And while Saturday’s victory over the visiting Chicago Fire wasn’t nearly as monumental as last year’s Voyageurs Cup finale, it certainly was just as satisfying.
Make no mistake, TFC dismantled the Fire. That the conditions surrounding the game were a convergence of factors that will likely never coincide again just added to the fun.
