On Saturday night, to open their 2020 season at BMO Field after a Week 1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes, Toronto FC rode the wild ride that is Ifunanyachi Achara to a 1-0 victory over New York City FC. The SuperDraft rookie scored the only goal of the game as a raucous 26,171 watched on with TFC recording their first victory of the season.
For Ronny Deila and NYCFC, meanwhile, questions must be asked of their offensive output and defensive gameplan. Bar a 15-minute period in the second half, there attacking efficacy was limited to sparse counter-attacks and potshots.
