In just the second game of the season, the Rhinos dropped a result away from home to the Richmond Kickers. Yudai Imura's opportunistic strike on the hour-mark defeated the Rhinos in Virginia.
Thirty-mile-per-hour wind gusts shaped a hard-fought game between the Rochester Rhinos and Richmond Kickers at City Stadium. Yudai Imura scored the game's only goal though the wind should be credited with an assist and the referee could have whistled the play dead for a foul on the build-up.
Rochester entered its second game of the season with some confidence but knowing that the squad still needed improvement to match 2015's success.
