TORONTO - Having joined the Toronto FC academy at the age of 12 and served as a ball boy during TFC’s championship run, Luca Petrasso’s roots run deep with the MLS club.
So making his first-team debut and registering an assist in Saturday’s home opener was a day to remember, even if the result wasn’t — a 4-1 loss to the New York Red Bulls.
“It’s been a dream come true to play for this team and be part of this organization,” said the 21-year-old from Toronto.
Petrasso wasted little time turning heads early on at BMO Field.
