The New York Red Bulls won their MLS 2017 home-opener, 1-0. A modest but worthy victory over Colorado Rapids, a team that has made its name recently on being hard to beat. The scoreline preserved the Rapids' reputation, but that was less down to Colorado holding RBNY to an even game and more because Tim Howard was in no mood to let anything get by him.

Howard put in a stirring peformance that conjured memories of his time as a MetroStar. And RBNY fans got to enjoy the best of both worlds: another look at the Tim Howard they used to cheer for (well, those that were around in Howard's days in black and red) and a win for the players they cheer for now.
